Although I post in both forums (depression and panic) I only work one program at a time and it is quite enough! I did the panic program first and it helped my anxiety to no end. Then, now, I am doing the depression program and taking my time with it. So I guess you should do whatever is the most pressing first! Hang in there, it does get better.
Welcome to the Depression Center support community! Please take the time to review our program and browse the forums for great advice from supportive members that understand where you are coming from.
As you move through the Depression Program, worksheets that help you track your CBT homework exercises will change as you change. Make sure you give yourself time to do the homework properly - you know your depression best so it's really up to you to decide how often you do your homework. Take your time when you do your homework, there is no rush!
Each session in the Depression Program is based on previous sessions, and if you track your mood with your Mood Tracker (and keep notes in the spaces provided) you'll see much improvement over the coming weeks.
At the beginning of each session we give you a Weekly Review, which allows you to see how far you've progressed. We save your Weekly Review results in your Session Diary, so you will see a collection of results, which are all based on what you write in your worksheets.
CBT is a lot of work but the good news is that if you follow the program it will all come together for you as you start to feel better.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.
I have depression (scored 71 on Goldberg test) and numerous panic issues (WB-DAT test). I see my psychiatrist once a month and am presently taking:
150 mg Effexor-XR (depression, panic)
1200 mg Gabapentin (panic)
1 mg Clonazepam (panic)
200 mg Seroquel XR (panic)
120 mg Cymbalta (depression)
40 mg Pariet (hiatus hernia)
I have joined the Depression Center and the Panic Center. Should I work in both areas? If yes, how do I go about doing all the work? If not, which center should I work in?
