Depression Support Group

I am an adult and I am working on things. i am on other boards other then here and talking on the other boards is a step in the right direction. I didn't get this way over night so I won't change overnight either

Jen, I sent you a pm reply to your pm.

But I want to again say that you need to stop playing the victim game. And one way to really start helping yourself is to stop feeding your mind with thoughts of feeling worthless, no good, can't do anything right etc etc.

You keep putting yourself down here online here and how is that going to help you get better (re. your first post on the thread was all you putting you down once again).

As long as you think the way you did on your first post...you will never get better. It easily becomes a self-fufilling prophesy when you refuse to see yourself as anything but these negative traits.

You need to start changing the way you talk to yourself. And that is a big step towards loving yourself.

We are going to work on that in therapy. We talked about this the last time I was there.

The thing is TP, when you post something asking for advice, when you get responses you dont like you say you wont post..I think you are getting alot of great advice here and only you know if you are trying or not..do you think posting here and on other boards is helping you or is it taking away from really buckling down and dealing with the issues you are facing? Not saying you should not post but you seem to be spinning your wheels..I think the energy you are putting into a toxic relationship is taking away vital energy you need to help yourself..you need to find strength in yourself and focus on you and has been said so well by others...your thoughts about yourself need to change

I thought I was going a good job posting on the other boards.

where do you see yourself in a year from now? or 5yrs?
do you think you'll be still working on these issues or do you think you'll be better? If better. then in what way?

I may be working on these issues, but that doesn't mean I'm not getting better and that i am not trying. It took a long time for me to get where i am today so things aren't going to go away overnight.

So because I am not doing everything you guys tell me every time i am not trying. I was talking about my past issues and thought i was headed in the right direction. I guess not.

stop acting like a child then TP. stop acting like a victim

There is repetiveness to much of your posts..how are things getting better when you are posting the same things? You really dont have to do anything anyone suggests, but when you post asking for advice then what do you expect? You continually fall back into the victim role and anyone who posts something that challenges your thinking you retreat and seem like you are being picked on or something..its very frustrating..you get lots of support here
