I have depression and anxiety. I want to get better. How does one go about it? I've seen my therapist and psychiatrist. I guess thats a start. I also went to a support group tonight and that was helpful too. I want to love myself for who I am. I feel kind of far from that right now. That is my goal. How do I do it? I think posting here helps so I'll keep doing that. Someone posted a "who am I" thread. I didn't really read it, sorry. But I got an idea of posting who I am here. I think it will help me to love myself so here it goes. I like to help people. I want to get a job paying a good amount of money in a field that I love. Right now I am exploring life. I hvaen't been out of school since preschool and this is my first winter out of school. It's great but learning how to be an adult is frustrating sometimes. I didn't go to work again today and they could fire me. I already have my excuse handy though. I probably won't get fired. Yahoo personals makes me depressed and I'm going to delete my profile. I have had nothing but boring or negative experiences come from there. I haven't been going to the gym a lot lately. But I paid them so I should. I think maybe it's depression, or just lack of motivation. I spend a lot of time on the computer. I wish someone who is incapable of loving me would love me. I have been hurt in the past. I am grieving over a breakup that happened 8 months ago. I don't know why but my life isn't satisfying. I don't know if that's depression or if thats just me or what. The guy I broke up with has a very satisfying life and is amused easily. So I must be dysthymic. I'm pretty sure I am. I walk around for a short while after work thinking of the things I could do. And I always come back to either here, or fantasy books and movies. I love just getting wrapped up in a romance movie where there's a girl who has problems:P Something I wish I could do but can't is write and be creative. I can be creative but It comes in short spurts which I cherish. It's always in fragments. I never have like a plot or a theme or anything that sounds good to me. I just think of funny things and write them down. But I always relate things to myself which I have to be careful of because it can become dperessing which isn't very entertaining. Plus I don't want people to see that side of myself in my artwork. Well I guess that's enough for now. If anyone has any good ideas on how to love yourself, I'll take any ideas I can get. This probably seems like one long ramble. Sorry. I still new but I love psych central. You guys make me feel so good about myself.
I hope I can do the sames for yous.
