How to start ?

agserra1 is A woman who has been in and out of depression for pretty much her entire life .. and is in therapy and taking meds but needs help to stop the cycle of being co-dependent ... don't want to drop everything to ease others issues anymore , especially family .
alone, depressed , lives with MS and FMS ..

Hi - I know about my depression for many many years .. self medicated...

08/13/08

How do I start ? I was not very good at saying "no" when I meant to .. I say "yes" too often and end up feeling like  I got the short end of the stick ..

 

So where do I begin ? I printed up some info on the subject, and there are no programs here .. my therapist wants me to get more involved with this subject as it is what I must do in order to gain some sanity and relieve some or all my anxiety ...

 

I have had MS for 7 years now, and FMS for about as long .. and have managed to get these in line .. but my self destructive behavior of dropping all that I need to help others, especially family (mother) has destroyed my life , or at least that is how I feel ..

 

My therapist feels that if I can get control and overcome , I may be able to acheive most of my "life goals" , and repair the relationships that do mean more to me than I have let on .. and to recognize when I get in "over my head" ...

 

So, as I already belong to a few sites here , I am hopeing that you will allow me or guide me through this process .. thanks ...

Hello agserra1

 

Hey, if you want to, writing shareposts on Healthcentral.com might be really good. You dont have to be a professional writer or anything. Just go to your home in the depression area and click on write sharepost. Then write away. This might be great, because you have a story to tell that will relate to alot of other people. Plus writing makes people feel better in general.

I hope you found this helpful.
