Question Of The Week? Seasonal Joy..

Pete:
 
No offense taken:
 
 I too need my quiet and solitude.  I was planning on camping in the desert during the holidays but the wind, rain and snow in the western part of the United states prevented me for leaving so I am kind of stuck here till the weather gets better.  I will really be glad when the holidays are over and the weather warms up again so that I can leave and get out of the city.
 
Doing the best I can

Session Two Group Walkthrough

I found that their is a lot of information in this session.  I will definitely need to re read this session and spend more time working on it. I also found that if I get out of the house I feel a little better. If I can get myself to leave and go for a walk around the lake  or somewhere quiet and peaceful I feel refreshed and sleep better. I find if I do just one thing each day like complete a task or do a pleasant activity and get a little exercise outdoors it helps ease my depression, lifts my mood and I feel better about myself.  I do find that morning is the hardest time for me and I really have to work at getting over the hump in the morning when I wake up.  This is something I have had to deal with for many years. This is all have to contribute to the group at this time.  See you all next time.

beating myself up

This topic of core beliefs and assumptions really gets to the heart of the problem for me. I find working on this a little scary and wonder if I will be able to take it but at the same time I know I need to do this if I want to get better.  I never knew other people had these kind thoughts playing over in their heads.  I thought it was just me.  I am not sure why it scares me? It just goes straight to my heart.

name change

I just wanted to let everyone know I will be changing my name to Red  which is short for reddesertflower.  I have a real love for the desert and feel this name suits me better and will also give me more anonymity. I am thinking about recommending this program to other people who need help with their depression but I also want to feel  free to express myself and remain anonymous. So from now on please call me Red

Rebbie,  Thanks for understanding.  You might want to consider doing the same thing some time.  I am glad you like the picture.  It was really beautiful being there and seeing it in person.

B12 deficiency - woo hoo

I am happy to hear the B12 is helping you to clear the brain fog as I call it.  To bad you had to get the flu.  May be this would be a good time to pamper your self.  Curl up in bed with a good book,some hot soup and get well.  
I want to thank you for answering my post on core beliefs, titled beating myself up. I will take your advice and go slow on this session.  You are such a Angle caring about all of us even when your ill.  Please make sure you rest  now and take care of your self so that you can get well.
