Welcome Jax, I too am from th Uk, I looked at many sites but came upon this one as it was mentioned in a wonderful book I am using called Overcoming Depression A self-help guide using Cognitive Behavioral Techniques by Paul Gilbert.. I am using th book in conjunction with this site and feel I have come a long way.
Since I set my first goals and posts my attitude towards thinking has changed but only because I allowed it to change. No matter where we are in the world, we have found ourselves on here for one reason or another but now have a common goal. We are here to help and support one another and the support group I find is a big help, as people comment when they feel you are being particularly positive or negative, suggestions from other members can sometimes seem feel impossible, but nothing worth having is impossible, if you stick at this, just doing a little if and when you feel like it, you and your loved ones will see an improvement.
Even if you don't feel like posting or commenting on threads, reading and knowing there are people here to support you is a great relief. You are never truly alone.
Me , myself & I are here to learn to love each other so that we can appreciate the ones who love and support us. Good luck.
