Thank you SOOO much!
I can begin to see how much positivity there really is out there, but when you're so down and disappointed with yourself it is so easy to overlook it. In my first session with a therapist yesterday, I realized that over the course of so many years I've chipped away at my self esteem with small experiences. Just as the damage was created by those occurances - I need to try and rebuild - a little at a time and I am beginning to see that it is okay to see it that way. If my depression didn't occur over night, my recovery isn't going to happen over night either.
Thank you so much for your encouragement and support.

That is great!! Congratulations and what a great motivator to go on. Just doing a little bit every day can make the way you feel go from feeling like the worst person ever lived to feeling oke. I also have the tendency to beat myself up for not doing enough. Since I have decided that whatever I do is good enough, my depression has gotten a lot better. Again, congratulations, keep up the good work.
I have a minor triumph that I want to share becuase - it's been a while since I've felt good. I took an anatomy exam last week and I was worried about what the results would be. I studied but I never felt I studied enough and I really thought I had confused four answers. I was expecting a mediocre grade because I really felt that I had studied with mediocre effort.
But, I got a 100%
It has been ther first hundred I've made this semester!! The start of this semester was horrible for me (I was walking straight into the fog). I couldn't get anything right - well, had no one to blame but myself - I wasn't reading a thing. I wasn't doing my homework and Iwasn't keeping up with the readings. No matter how much i tried to get disciplined and now matter how many times I told myself "tonight, I AM going to read. I am going to do my homework and I am going to change." I couldn't do it. I had no motivation even though my college courses were the only things that kept me going for a while - this was all I had to look forward to.
I didn't make a drastic change, but instead of tackling so many things at once, I studied a little over the course of several days.
I really can't believe it; it's a strange kind of happines, but I hope it lasts a little longer. :)
I'm smiling!!
Take care everyone.
I'm very glad taht I found this group!
