Hi JC...
i will not go into the humourous anologies between your initales and jesus... my son has the same problem.
I did not know that we had a fan club following along ... I knew that a forum is not private but I kinda saw it like a video rental shop. If you are not a memeber why bother to "shop" around. But I guess that you have sparked food for thought.
Thank you!
I hope you will be a part of the group and continue to post ! Welcome!
I am glad reading the posts here has made a positive difference in your workday! This place is so wonderful. The people here are supportive and kind! I am glad you got to finally come on and introduce yourself. The program here is quite good. I suggest you keep at it! I am taking it slow but it is already helping I believe! And the support here is fantastic so feel free to post often! Anyway, Welcome to the forums and keep us posted! Remember, it does get better, This too shall pass!
JC Welcome, I am glad that you've read a bunch of the support group posts and realize how helpful not only posting but being supportive of others through posting can be. I too stumbled upon the program and think it's a blessing. I know it's alot of work but it's definitely worth it. I think it's important to take it slow. I started off too fast and got to session 3 and decided to go back. I've been around a while and though I started reading session 4, I'm not doing the activities yet (they aren't unlocked for me yet since I haven't read it all).
Anyway Welcome look forward to hearing more from you!
Welcome to the support community. You've come to a great place! It's great to hear that you've started working thought the program and you've asked really great questions. The mood tracker is located in two places. You can find it in the Tool Box on the top left navigation as well as in the top tool bar called "My Diary". As for the Activity Tracker, these are PDF's that you can print that are also located in your ToolBox. These documents will become unlocked once you've completed the session that corresponds.
Please continue to send your questions our way. We also have a feedback section where you can send questions to us.
One final note, you will be receiving follow-up surveys every 2 weeks for the next 12 weeks. It's important that you complete these so we can know how you are doing and how we can improve the program, so please be sure to fill them in when you get a chance
Okay wait - almost forgot, I have a question - I just finished reading part 1 of the depression program and I cant seem to find the Activity Tracker - does anyone know where that is? And also, it would be helpful to find out how others started the program - according to what I read I think the first thing to do is to keep an activity and mood tracker. Where do I get these two things? Are they available for print out? Thanks.
Hello folks, my name is JC and I have been reading the posts on this board anonymusly all week long. I have recently found myself in a battle with yet another episode of depression as I struggle with MDD. But I have to tell you -- I have learned so so so much from this website and I want everyone here who is an active member that I will be forever grateful!!! Honestly, I stumbled upon this site at such an awful time in my battle with MDD, I just felt trapped, I felt like I had no where to go but down -- and then I found this site and started reading, and applying what I read and learned! I'm still trying to figure things out, but I feel so so much better today than I did when I started just under a week ago. I believe this site will help me learn to cope with MDD!!! Finally I have a sense of hope! I cant fully descibe how that feels, its wonderful!
Diva, and Breanne, and Wildcat, and Sheba - wow! You guys have made my workday morning all week! Ive read quite a few of your posts, and I could relate and understand and the Health Administrators are so awesome!! I love all the tools in the toolbox, and I wouldve introduced myself sooner -- but I couldnt post any messages for a while since I was having technical difficulties, but those issues have been resolved, and here I am!!! It's great to be here (well I've been here for a little while, but its great to be here and be seen!!.. LOL). God bless you all as you continue in your battle with depression and thanks for being such great inspirations to others! Let's fight!
