I've been reading your posts, and the letters some of you have written to yourselves. I found them extremely moving, very emotional. I am not (yet) brave enough to write myself a letter like that. I think it shows a lot of courage, honesty and self-knowledge to be able to do this.
I am not ready to confront me with myself like that yet. But I wanted to express my admiration for those that did. I hope sometime in the (not too far) future I might be able to.WELL DONE!

I'd be very interested in reading yours.
If only I would listen to myself, but instead I told myself something that isn't fit to repeat on a family board. :)

Might take me a year orso! I've only just started my journey (or feel I have). Be patient, and, 1 day it might suddenly be there!

I understand. I've been wrestling this particular bear to the ground for nine months now. Perhaps growth is ready to be born! Or maybe the gestational period for growth is a bit longer.

I got my diagnosis (cyclothymia & depression) in March. In this wonderful health system, no help is offered, unless your dying. And even then, they only feed you pills to ease the pain of dying. I've started a long journey of discovery, learning about my "disease", my moods, and myself. In the mean time, I've got to conduct a full-time job, part-time degree course, and a few interpersonal relations spread over 2 countries.
My journey is slow. Sometimes I enjoy it. Sometimes I enjoy my moods (it's not all bad), sometimes I hate them. Towards the end of this year I think I'll look for a private therapist of some sort.Sorry for the moan. Feeling a bit sorry for myself today.

Nina, sounds like you're doing really well with your insights. I'm impressed, esp. since you're able to have so much insight without aid of therapy. I hope you find a T you'll like and can work with.
You're very busy..I can't imagine having all of that going on and feeling depressed too. You don't sound like you're moaning at all.
