Hi Gigi and welcome!

Thank you for introducing yourself. I think you'll find a lot of shared experiences here. You are absolutely correct about this site being a Godsend. I have been thanking Him everyday since I found it!

Life stories are exchanged here as a way to gain insight from those having the same difficulties you're facing. There are very caring people here and they don't mind if you vent! I vent and feel bad for doing so but then someone writes back and I'm given a new way to see it or simply support to keep trying. It's great to have a place to go where you're understood.

The sessions have been very helpful and although I'm moving a a snail's pace, I'm getting some postive results. It's a struggle but you will too.

Take Care Gigi

Hello Gigi,

I wanted to thank you for introducing yourself to us and sharing your story with us. I also think that the program here is really great. I will be moving from sessions to sessions on Friday also. As for rambling, well I do not find you were rambling but even if you felt like rambling, please feel free to do so here with us anytime. I am the first to admit I ramble here all the time. I find the venting helps me cope with my life atm. Anyway, all this to say welcome to the forums!

Welcome Gigi!

You have definitely come to the right place. We are here to help, support and encourage you, no matter what you are going through. I'm glad to hear that you have taken the time to familiarize yourself with the program and the sessions. I am also looking forward to hearing about your results!

In terms of your counsellor, perhaps you should try someone else? After a month you should feel like you are making progress, and you should feel comfortable and happy with your counsellor.

Stay close, and keep us posted on how you are doing,

Hey everybody. I'm Gigi from South Carolina. I'm a Christian and have 2 daughters, ages 16 and 21.
Don't know exactly what I'm sposed to say here, but figured this was the best place to start.
I have been "officially" diagnosed with depression for about 5 years I guess. But only in the last 3 years or so has it grown into MDD... with acute anxiety and PTSD.

I was in an abusive marriage for 12 years (been out of that for about 5 years) and around 3 1/2 years ago I unjured my back at work and have been having surgeries and other procedures since then. Pain is contant.

Well.. I can't go into everything here in ONE post...and I'm sure I'll tell more as I go along. I hope that I will be able to turn to ya'll and I pray that I will be able to help others.

I DO believe that this site is a God-send. When I found it I got so excited!

I've read session 1 and I reckon it looks like I'll be doing each session on a Friday. I'm looking forward to seeing results.

I am seeing a counselor but mostly all she does for me is tell me about her own life. And I don't mean that she is having me learn by example... I mean she just tells me about what her grandchildren did, what her husband did, etc. I may just be exaggerating there..but .. I really do feel like she's just not helping me at all. I've been seeing her once a month for over a year and I'm not any better.. in fact I'm worse. Ok... I'll hush.

Sorry I rambled. I'll save it for a blog next time.

~Gigi
