Hi sad... so glad you found us. I'm sorry you have had to deal with depression since you were ten... you don't say how old you are now but it doesn't really matter. I often feel that I've been depressed since before I was born (with good reason) and it has taken a lifetime to heal. Starting the CBT program here has helped me grow and heal in leaps and bounds. It's not easy, nor quick... but given a lifetime of depression, a year's work seems worth the effort. The program is actually only 12 weeks long if I remember correctly... but we get to stay for as long as we need to... i've needed to. I hope you will stay and explore the program. Feel free to ask any questions and post often. I look forward to hearing from you.
You have come to the right place, here we understand. This program can give you the tools nessesary to manage depression. This support group will help you through the rough spots and good spots too. The program is a lot of reading but stick with it and you will see progress.
What other types of treatments have you tried?
What are you hoping to get out of the program here?
I'm not really sure what to say here. I have been living with depression since I was about 10. Usually it's not to bad but lately it has been harder and harder to feel anything but sadness or emptyness. I'm just so tired of feeling this way and there are very few people who I can talk to that really understand what it feels like.
