Welcome... especially to the 19 visitors and 5 new members I see logged in at present. I glad you found us, but sorry for the circumstances that bring you here. This depression gig is a tough one for sure!
Hi Ashley! Thanks for the welcome. What's new is old... depression is back. Big Time. Everything seems pointless and hopeless. But I remembered to come back here where I got so much help before. It has been very hard to get started on the lessons again... but I have finally slogged through the first lesson and while it was slow and painful... It HAS actually helped already. Feeling some hope displace the gnawing despair of the past six months or so.
Am hoping the 19 visitors, 5 new members and other quiet lurkers will be inspired to start reading too. ~m
And hope this starts working. Ta da! Now it is. Yay! I haven't been back to this site for some time... almost two years, seeing my last post. For new folks posting and newbies lurking... come back. Keep posting. There may not be a lot of active participants, but many are "listening". The staff here is wonderful. Hi Ashley! So glad you are still here. The program itself WORKS... big time. But you gotta do the lessons and mood trackers. Ask for help if you have any questions.
I'll be back to check in and share more of my story... but just wanted to touch base and remind ppl you don't have to do this alone. Holiday months are the worst for us. All of us dealing with this depression thing. It can get better. Keep coming back. Post if you are able.
Peace & gentle cyber hugs to you all (if that's ok). ~m
