CM, oh, my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ya Goofy:

It was my pleasure.

I am so happy I was able to provide with the information to start you on your journey of recovery and the fact that you are excited is awesome.

Right now as I am typing this I am sitting with the biggest smile on my face.

(this is me, well sort of, my mouth is a little smaller) due to the fact that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for you in the form of a treatment.

I do hope your referral is soon & would love to know the outcome. You were in my thoughts, my heart went out to you and your plight. I wanted to do something to help, thank-you for making my day by letting me know that I have helped it really means a lot to me.

Take Care.

Thinking others don't like you...

Hi Ya :

Whew & here I thought I was the only one who felt this way, what a relief to know I'm not alone.

Everyday I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb because I feel so self-conscious, I feel so worthless compared to other people. Especially people who are employed, since I haven't been able to work for 3 years due to my emotional roller coaster.

It's really beginning to get me down, which is why I have started reading session 15 on shyness and sensitivity.

I am really feeling drained of energy because I put so much into worrying what other people think of me that I don't pay any attention to what I'm really doing to myself thinking this way. Easier said than done.

Having said that I know I cannot continue to live like this it's what my therapist & I discussed today - maladaptive behaviors. I know it doesn't work but continue to react the same way, change seems insurmountable , but I know I have to work towards some small change for now.

Thinking others don't like you...

Hi Ya Samantha:

Thanks for your reply, in short I haven't got a clue. You see even if there was only one other person in the world I would still feel self-conscious.

I was on the subway today and just wanted to run, then I thought well look at people & see if they are looking at you and they weren't but did that make me feel any better - no.

You see this all started with my the work placement I am currently in, they have had a couple of pot lucks at the office but I was never invited. I was very angry and felt I wasn't good enough, oh I know they didn't all get together and say don't invite her. But it still hurts. I started going down from there thinking I can't deal with the office politics and I'll never be able to get back to work. It seems these days I am very angry and very self-conscious.

I told my psychotherapist I feel as if someone blew on me I would fall to pieces. I was doing so well and now.

Transitioning back to work

Hi Guys:

I have been unemployed for over 3 years due to my emotional roller coaster(PD, GAD, 2 bouts of depression all without meds) I am now in an unpaid work placement as a re-integration back into the work force. I am not transitioning very well, you see they had a couple of pot luck lunches at the office & I was never invited. I got very angry about it & am now agitated all the time, depressed and extremely self conscious. I told myself that I wasn't worth inviting, I am less than the others. I carry this inferiority around with me all day and can't seem to shake it.

Oh I know from working in offices for over 10 years that there is always going to be office politics but I always think of the negative & don't see any other possible explanation. This is wearing me down, no I tell myself that since I can't handle this situation I will never be able to work full-time again.

Transitioning back to work

Hi Ya AI:

Thanks very much for your response, it helps just to know someone else has been there. Hope everything is going well for you.

You are right about me benefiting by using the program, I started tonight with session 2 goals and activities. I have printed out the goal planner worksheet and am going to be thinking about 1 goal.

Take care.

CM, oh, my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ya goofy:

I am so happy for you, when I read your post I had the biggest smile on my face & I cried. Tears of joy of course, you made my day!

You have made a difference in my life too, just knowing that I played a small part on your road to recovery means a lot to me. As Samantha said you deserve a good quality of life.

I wish you all the best & hope the treatments work for you.

Take care, your friend
