stuck on treatment goals

OK. will try to think of some goals and break them down so they're small enough. Thanks for the other link, wouldn't have thought of that. tx

Suegiu, Start with very small goals centered around work and work from there increasing the size and importance in a very slow steady way. Reaching those small goals and others thereafter will help you build some confidence and perhaps motivate you to acheive bigger goals. If you experience anxiety, we have a sister site that may be helpful to you: www.paniccenter.net Hope this helps. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

My depression was once more debilitating, but following therapy (and lots of trial/error), I've become pretty diligent about doing what makes me feel better (exercise, volunteering, painting, meditation, seeing friends). But I am still very anxious, depressed (scored 70-80 on initial test) and have difficulty concentrating and focusing. Work is still a real challenge and would seem a good place to set some treatment goals. (I was a staff writer and quit my job because of depression, now I freelance.) But I'm afraid to set goals around work because I'm already so anxious and feel like such a failure. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
