Hi everyone...I'm new here. It is wonderful how supportive you all are of each other.

Several years ago I fell into a deep depression due to some problems in my family. After a few years I started having obsessive thoughts, and my obsession actually helped me get out of my depression. It spurred me into action in a lot of positive ways and my life progressed in a good direction.

When my life seemed more on track, I realized that the obsession was now causing me more emotional problems than benefits. So I sought out therapy and eventually was able to resolve my obsession.

I have been obsession-free for a couple of months now, but my depression has returned with a vengeance. I am no longer in therapy and do not want to go back.

Does anyone have any experience with this? How did you help yourself?

Thank you in advance!
