Hello Fifereillie,

I just wanted to stop in and say thank you for sharing with us and welcome to the forums. I do get what you mean and have been guilty of that too. Hang in there, the program here is great. Keep us posted!

fifereillie,

If you find that doing the program and the homework are helpful, then I would continue to do so on a regular basis. Or, have you tried journaling? You may find that writing down your thoughts and reflecting upon them may be of use.

You have lots of great advice and support here. We're always here for you

hello,
this program and the info it contains is helpful! it's like keeping a journal in a way. totally understand how you feel - it's the deceptive nature of our natures or something! when you feel ok, you figure you are ok and then BAM! the depression/anxiety hits again like a ton of bricks. i've experimented with/without antidepressants and i have discovered for myself that they really help me stabilize. don't coast, if you have major depression you have it 24/7 (to varying degrees). good luck!

Hi Fifereillie (I hope I spelled it right!!)

Your post is understood. I wrote in another thread to Sheba that when I'm overwhelmed I want to shut down. I frequently know I don't function well or that if I didn't have this depressive nature I would not do some of the things I do. I look at me when I'm in that state and think I'm such a loser. Even some of the negative thoughts I have, those that keep me down, make me feel like I'm crazy and I wonder how I could have thought that!

Guilty! I didn't do the homework when I was up either, but the crash I had was bad. I am trying to remember to do the work even if I'm up (true I haven't had too much of that lately). I do recognize the tendancy to want to coast when I'm up. I don't know how far you are in the program, but keep trying. I have seen some progress by using it and plan to keep going over it until it becomes ingrained. This may take awhile!!!

Keep us posted on how you're doing, you are not alone.

Hi everyone.

I wanted to share my biggest problem I have with my tries on recovery. When I'm very depressed I have the motivation to keep with programs/doing the work to get better. But then there will be windows of time where I feel pretty much 'normal' if you will, I look back at how I felt and how I acted when I was down and it seems utterly ridiculous. It doesn't seem real. So then I drop the 'getting better homework' because when I feel better, the other times didn't really exist.

I'm not sure if this makes sense and I apologize. I guess the best way to explain is that when I'm depressed my thoughts are extremely irrational. And the bad part about it is I KNOW they are even at the time, but my emotions and thoughts override and debilitate me. Then when I'm feeling okay, my thoughts are rational again and I cannot comprehend how or why I felt the way I did when I was down and this affects my efforts to continue to work on the depression.

If anyone has some tips I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much
