I'm glad you found us. It's a good place to be, especially when you feel out of all other options. It takes work, but it is worth every minute you spend reading, doing the homework, and participating in the forums. Congratulations for making the effort to post an intro (never easy). This is a good start. Don't forget to give yourself credit for doing that much. It is helpful to check in everyday if only to fill in your mood tracker and read one page of a session. Let us know how it goes...
Welcome to our DC forum. You have found yourself a great option by
joining our online support group. Whenever you feel like there is no
one around, simply login to this site. You will find many members here
that can relate to what you are going through, find support and learn
what has and has not worked for others going through similar
situations. It is a safe and supportive place to share your feelings,
frustrations,
challenges and triumphs!
Many people have mentioned the CBT to be very helpful. Where to
start? I suggest going through our depression program. Start with the
tabs on the L side of the main page and you can work your way through
the negative thoughts and challenging those thoughts. Although it is
not easy to do, I think you will find it helpful in your journey to
wellness.
Not sure what to say. I can't afford a psychologist, I hate pill doctors and I can't miss work to leave town to see anyone anyway. I have recently been dx'ed aspergers which explains everything and solves nothing. I begin and end every day crying. When I am at home I hide in the bathtub or in bed and when I am at work I hide in my office. I am doing less and les for my family. My older child packs lunch and makes breakfast for the younger two. My spouse does all the shopping and cooking. Everything is falling apart at home and I am angry at them for not doing more. Demands are still being made of me to choose things, clean things, sort things, decide things. I don't care I just want everyone to do their own thing and leave me alone. Being included in family stuff feels like a chore. Anyway, it is obvious to me that I am alone in getting help so I figured I would give it one last try. Therapy hasn't worked for me before.
