Well I have been off for a while and not really started anything yet. This is my first real day back looking at the program and I am willing myself to do one of the exercises. I have only completed step 1 so I think there aren't many tools unlocked yet.
Sounds like you have a fresh start. This program will help you get beyond just maintaining the depression. Take your time with and you will notice a difference soon.
Have you had a chance to get started? Any questions so far?
I am back with a new login name and outlook. Regarding my decision to join the program in the first place: I have suffered depression most of my adult life and probably longer. I do know that CBT works having been prescribed these types of exercises by my family doctor. The first time about was 15 years ago now and if it didn't work I would have abondoned this for some other form of therapy a long, long time ago.
This type of therapy also helped me through a near death experience and the death of my partner 10 years ago. I suffered PSTD and crippling depression as a result. During that time I required anit-depressants which made things worse as I was already self medicating. I got through the worst of it with the help of the same family doctor and more than one mental health practitioner (psychologists and psychiatrists).
Since then I have felt that I am just treating my low periods and never rising above the surface to claim a full life. I truly hope this program and the associated group discussions will be the lever I have been searching for.
