Hi there everyone.
I have never done anything like this before, the only people who know about my depression are my doctor and close family!
I decided to post in the changing negative thoughts section because that is primarily what I need to do, but I have so many questions that would fit into all the other segments too!
I want to know if anyone can offer me advice on what it is like to see a therapist, and what a face to face support group is like. I suffer panic attacks, and often find it hard to go out into unfamiliar social situations.
I feel nervous about posting here, and I am not even sure why! My life is going wonderfully - I am about to qualify for the job of my dreams (teaching), I am about to marry a wonderful man... I feel a bit like a fraud! So many people here ahve been through terrib;e things I guess I don't even have the right to feel this bad.
My father recently had an affair, and my mother was devastated when it came out. I have been desparately trying to give her all the support she needs. They have chosen to stay together and work things out, but Mum is going through a tumultuous time. Instead of supporting her I have crumled. I feel broken. Like one more ounce of pressure will cause me to disappear.
Wow, this is a long post. Sorry!
I would be so grateful for any replies.
Love, joy and best wishes to you all.
Ojo
