Welcome Cvdeb! Glad to see a familiar face, so to speak.
Good for you for taking charge of you health and coming on here. You will find the program to be a big help. I am glad you are like it so far. It is a lot of reading but it is well worth the effort. Make a schedule for yourself. Break the program down into manageable chunks and plan time that you can devote to the program. Be sure to work rewards into your plan so that you are rewarded a session completions!
Josie, thank you for directing me to this program. Still smoke free by the way!
Just a quick hello. I've just been diagnosed with MDD/generalized anxiety disorder after battling with severe depression for a bit of time now. Sleeping too much, can't move, don't want to leave the house, etc. Pretty much meet the criteria on all levels except for suicidal ideation. It's impacting my day to day functioning. I just started 50mgs of Pristiq yesterday only after complete desperation (not a huge fan of meds). But I'm willing to try anything at this point and try to be a little more proactive about my own health.
I've read through session one (it was very good by the way), and printed out the mood thermometer. I just need to find the motivation to fill it out. Seriously!
So hi :) Nice to meet all of you. Some of you I already know, and some of you I don't. But I've enjoyed poking around and seeing what people are talking about and what the program is all about.
