I just wanted to know if there's anoyone having CBT out there? I've been doing it for 2 months now and been working pretty hard at it and going twice a week. Sometimes it works and I can change the way I think but sometimes I still have these feelings of sadness, guilt or inferiority or self-loathing etc. I was wonedring if there's anyone out there who's had successful CBT who can say how long it takes for it to really start to work etc. Thanks

I lost me mum 6 years ago.I never grieved, and carried on with my life.All the time i got more and more irrational, directing my anger at friends and family, to the point where they were gonna ring up a mental ward.All along i didnt realise i was stuck in grief, i thought of everything but that.So approx 2 months ago i started going cruse and i feel 100% better.She says theres nothing she sees in me that she doesnt feel like she can fix.You dnt know how great that made me feel.Now i relax! Summit i havent done in 6 years.I asked my doctor ( the same 1 who has never recommened me for any help) for a sick note the other day , as i was having a particulary bad week ( but nothing compared to pre-counselling days, at least now im depressed but grounded). Her reply was " i think you are kidding yourself if you think counselling will cure you, you have the personality that will get stressed anyways, so you will always have the demons". Can you believe that? After all the progress i had made??

For the past couple years I have gotten extremely lazy (for lack of a better word). I rarely have the energy to walk across the room. There are several things I know I could do that would make my life better, but I can't seem to make myself do them. I rarely leave the house (maybe 1-2 a week). I don't feel depressed and most days I am pretty happy, but I just don't have the energy or motivation to do anything. The strange thing is, I am not really tired at all. I get a good nights sleep. Most of the other posts I have read, the people complain of always being tired. That is not my case at all. I have tried vitamins and they didn't seem to do anything. I don't exactly eat healthy, or exercise and I can't make myself do either. It seems like I have no self control at all. What should I do?

My hubby is serving overseas, and I havent seen him in 6 months. He is coming home very soon for R&R and I cant sleep and I cant stop thinking about it. We have 3 young boys who are also constantly thinking about it. I need something to get my mind off of this so I dont go completely insane and not get any sleep. Friends have suggested to sleep I should just do the typical, turn off the lights, ect. But that isnt working. Any suggestions on what to do to get to sleep and calm my nerves?

Someone who knows how to play off a girl's emotions to get them to react a certain way,and then leaves her in the dust the next time around by acting like nothing happened.Later,he finds a way to explain the situation to her,but just to save his *** and not out of guilt/

The drug company did a training, but I am wondering if there are people out there with experience with it. Did it work? Were there side effects?

I have been writing a book about bi polar depression and alcoholism. The book is about my experiences with the illness and my work as a counselor and therapist. I am trying to come up with a good name for the book. Something profound and meaningful. I want people to see the title and want to read it. So I need some suggestions from all of you. Please let me know what the meaning of the title you suggest is. Thanks.

It is just an EMOTION. I do not buy into that whole "disease" business; it just gives people an excuse to feel like **** and instead of actually FIXING their problems, they turn to drugs. I feel the same way about ADHD. I find it rather odd how a person with ADHD can not pay attention, but when the subject tends to be about something the "victim" has an interest in, they all of a sudden can pay attention. Next, US will come up with drugs for laughing. Because EVERYONE knows that we need drugs for EVERYTHING.

Or just harmless quackery? The patients were going to die anyway, we just hastened it along a bit.

I'm addicted to chocolate and litterally go crazy when I want it but dont have it. I get a little hyper when I eat chocolate even if its a little bit. Trust me I've tried quitting but it only lasted like 2 er 3 days before I had to eat some more. Its really hard to concentrate in school when I'm hyped up on sugar so my grades are dropping badly. I sometimes eat chocolate to calm myself when I'm stressed or nervous so I HAVE to keep EMERGENCY CHOCOLATE in my backpack at all times. I may sound weird but its what I call addiction. So please help me break this habit.
Thank You

My 6 year old son is very energetic and goes non stop. Lately he has been losing focus in school and has become very defiant. I heard about ADHD and my 15 year old brother was diognosted with disoreder a few years back. As I recall these are tha same symptoms he was having prior to being diognosted. I hate the idea of medicating my son just so he will be calm. Is anyone else familar with this type of situation?? If so how do the medications effect the kids??
