> You know I never thought to check to see if my school has a counsellor, it probably does though.
> Its a University/College not huge but big enough that it probably has a few 'extra's<<My ex-boyfriend went to a community college in Maryland, and he got a FABULOUS counselor/therapist through the school for free. It's definitely worth looking into. The therapist even saw him after he "graduated" because they had an established relationship and knew the ex was broke, having gone back to school.
>> And I think what I hate the most about depression is that it keeps us from feelng any sense of pride what we've survived. takes that People say but "Look what you've overcome"
If you can't feel it though, it doesn't seem like much.
<<I know it sucks when you don't "feel" it, but I "really" think you are strong and headed in the right direction. What you've written on this board has given me hope, has made me feel better. And I think that's the greatest thing another human being can do -- make this life a little easier for someone else.>
> And Susan J I certainly do not mind you as you said "jumping in" I'm grateful you did.
> Thank you. This is my only therapy, so I really appreciate you recommending that book. I'll have to see if its in the library.
<< Great! The book is on-line. It's free, and broken down by chapter and subheadings. You can print it out if you want -- but I found that to be tedious. I just read it online while I'm at work. :-)They always say life is the journey, not the destination. For us, I think, the journey is very very difficult, and we'd give anything (I know I would) to reach the destination that makes us happy and comfortable in our own skin.
I personally think you are very successful in your journey. You have great insight, both into yourself and others. And I love how you phrase stuff. You should be a writer. :-)I think part of healing is to help others heal. And you (and others) are helping "me" heal.
