Hey all. I've been reading lately about CBT and it dawned on me that this might be my ticket to finally feeling "normal" again!!
For years I have been treated for Depression (mainly with Zoloft) but it has never helped.
The more I go through situations in my past (predominantly social in nature), I realize more and more that my anxiety levels not only have debilitated my social life, but also have marred my interactions with others (I've tended to turn people away or alienate people with my behavior and without my realizing it until now!)
I generally feel very paranoid and threatened. Constantly being judged, joked about, laughed at, etc. I know that this is NOT reality, and that is why I came here - to take back my life and happiness! I am married and a parent now and cannot let this rob me of my happiness any more!
I am looking forward to coming here regularly and getting better along with all of you.
Take care!
