Sid,

Thank you for the welcome. I take comfort in knowing that others are out there experiencing what I have experienced/am experiencing. Thank you for pointing that out. Its reassuring and does give some relief. Thank you.

Sylvie,

Thank you for your warm welcome. I have indeed started reading through the program and have thus far read session 1. Haha, not off to a bad start. I have done the mood and daily activity tracker. I find it really works for me. Writing down what I need to do for the day, even something as simple as brushing my teeth, really helps me feel more organized and less discouraged or frustrated about what I need to get doen for the day. Thanks again.

Pete,

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I already do feel welcome. Thank you for your kind words and genuine concern. I have not done drugs for a while. Not since about 5 or 6 months back. I still have urges but, I do try to ignore them and have been succesful so far. I have removed the presence of friends who do drugs from my life. I have since made new friends. I hope to not repeat the cycle and do badly again. I feel I am slwoly going back into a deep and dangerous depression. I am fighting for my mental health and life stability daily. Its a struggle but I have survived through it so far (miraculously, lol). Thanks again.

Fallabe:

What you say in your post about becoming obsessed with the idea of getting high has been troubling me. I would counsel great caution with drugs. I'm no puritan, and I speak from experience here, having spent my last two years at university pretty well permanently high. I tried all sorts of drugs, and it is more by luck than any common sense that I came through it in one piece (more or less). Some of my friends didn't escape unscathed. Don't forget, the purpose of recreational drugs is to give us something stupid to grow out of.

So, take care of yourself, and please try to be careful.

Falabe,

Welcome to the support group. Look forward to reading your posts.

I urge you to talk to someone before acting on your urge to use illicit drugs/alcohol to get high. That will only compound your issues and could potentially lead to legal issues as well.

Hi Falabe,

Welcome to the Depression Centre.

It sounds to me that aside from depression, no-one knows what exactly the problem is. I too have found that. Not too long ago, I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least I have a name and research I continue to do, the down-side is trying to find someone interested in working with me and my best interests not to increase their bank account and shove their studies down my throat). I would urge you to talk about this with your mental health care provider and even do some research online about it, in case this is the issue you need to look at (which sounds like it to me but hey, I am just Joe Q. Public not a mental health care professional). On a side note Bi-Polar (manic depressive) and BPD have been confused for many years due to the intense mood swings and ups and downs of both so definitely dig deep to get the right answers.

We are here to listen and share our experiences and if some of it helps, great, if not, then at least know that we care enough to try.

Good luck to you and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi, Fallabe, and welcome. Good to meet you.

Thanks for sharing so frankly about yourself. It shines through in your post what a strong and intelligent woman you are, with great insight into yourself. Your comment about both caring and not caring at the same time rings so true.

You'll find a really supportive and positive community here - for me, it's been a lifeline at times. I visit every day and post quite a lot (grumblings, mumblings, rants and ramblings and all points in between), so I look forward to seeing you round the forums.

I'm sorry if this all seems jumbled. My thoughts are too fast for me. Basically....I am tired of feeling depressed and being depressed makes me tired!!! All I wanna do is sleep, sleep, sleep. I seem to not really care about a lot of things but I absolutely care at the same time. The great contradiction of my life. I am not very motivated and often use my condition as an excuse for why I can't do things. Truth is, I could try harder, but at the same time, I don't exaggerate (by any means) the severity of my condition. I tried to kill myself a while back (high school). I have had crying spells. I am sad all the fricken time and don't know why. Its very frustrating, to say the least.
