Hello Everyone. New to form and program...

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I am definitely using the tools and working on the program on this site. I've never helt such hope about relieving my depression before coming across it. When I noticed the site had forums for support I thought it would be great to interact with others who where going through similar experiences. As for being wise, I'm not so sure I would use that description. Mostly I've just learned life lessons the hard way and had some pretty tough experiences. :) Regardless, it doesn't matter at what age, or how long, it takes you to make some changes as long as you begin the process. I know I still have quite a journey ahead of me.

Hi, Melkuff. Like Goofy said, it took me a very long time, too, to realize what was going on with me. You are, indeed, very wise and insightful to get a leg up on this at such a tender age. I'm glad you decided to come here. This site has helped me immensely. I hope you're doing the program along with posting here. It really does help.

Welcome to DC!!

I think it is so awesome that you've discovered you need to look at self and take responsibility for how you feel....it took me a very long time to realize this and I am much much older than you.

You are very insightful and intelligent to realize these things. I think you'll find the program will help with the distorted thinking...it did me! So glad you are hear and looking forward to your input. There will be many things we can leran from your experiences and insight.

Hello MelKuff,

Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself. It's always nice to get to know the new members! I encourage you to continue making use of this site and all the tools available to you. Work through the program, and feel free to join in on our group discovery session. Read through the posts to find more information, and post whenever you feel like it! There is always someone on here willing to lend a listening ear.

You mentioned that you are on the path to self discovery and that you find yourself thinking in ways which are distorted. I encourage you to challenge these thoughts, and although it can be tricky, try to actively change the way you think.

Come back often, and let us know how you are doing.

I've already posted but I thought I should introduce myself since I am new to the forums and program. I am a 26 year old female dealing with multiple mental health issues since early childhood. Depression is my primary problem and it is quite chronic although varying in degree throughout the years. The medications I am currently on are Lexapro, Topamax, Lamictal, Focalin XR, and Abilify plus a few others when needed.

I've been in and out of therapy from the age of 12 and nothing worked long term for me. Looking deep inside myself I've realized that I have to take a little more responsibility for my depressive state and that my thinking truly is distorted. It's taken a long time for me to realize that.

Sorry for the ramble. Self discovery is insane!

I'm excited to learn more about everyone hear and about their experiences too.
