That's an awesome poster campaign!
I've been at CBT session and feeling very relaxed.
That’s great to hear :)
That's great! Are you going every week?
Unfortunately not. But hope I'll sort it out.
Oh no why not? When are you going next?
Wishing everybody on DWD Happy New Year!
All of you are very very special to me, the people I've met here showed me empathy and love, encouraged me in my daily struggle and literally to mentally survive.
Hope a calm and lucky year for everybody!
Hope one day meeting you!
The same to you lovely x
Hope the coming year is better than the last for you, hunni
Do you think a man can accept me as I am (from mental and psychological point of view)?
I mean a depressed woman.
A female colleague's words hurt me (although there was no hint about me). That men like smiling, dancing and jumping women, others cannot make them interested.
But I'm as I'm, not permanently jumping, smiling etc. I cannot fake to catch someone's attention.
Selena, I don't wish to be rude, but you seem to think that there are lists of reasons why someone wouldn't be with you - you've never stopped to say about what what you want in a person.
There is no reason at all that someone wouldn't want to be with you. Stop making excuses and do things that mean that you will be able to get and meet real men! Join a choir or a gym or a chess group or whatever, just stop hiding away. Stop listening to all the rubbish and horrible things that those around you say and get out and live... Do something different from work and beat yourself up!
To be just as blunt as Suzi, what your colleague said is a load of bull(swear)(swear)(swear)(swear). Look at how strong Paula's relationship is with her husband, he accepts and loves her for everything that she is. Look at how strong Suzi's relationship is, her and Marc accept each other completely and support each other no matter what. I've lost count of the number of times that J has held me while I cried or just sat talking me through a meltdown over the phone. He knows that I'm a little bit broken and he just tells me that he's a model-maker and he has plenty of glue to help put me back together. He loves me for exactly who I am, the same as Si loves Paula, the same as Marc and Suzi love each other through all of their health problems. True love sees past all of that, it sees the person you are. But how is anyone gojng to see who you are if you hide yourself away???
How are you, lovely?
I'm fine, thanks. Your points are perfectly right and make sense.
I'm just feeling trapped at the moment, living in permanent fear regarding my mom's condition.
Sweetheart you can't live your life worried about your Mum's health suffocating you.
Just wanted to say I'm feeling better, although the whole psychological recovering process is not easy at all.
What’s been happening with psych stuff? And how’s your mum?
I'm still waiting for free counselling. My mom has not always followed doctor's prescriptions, but thank God, she is fine.
Why isn't she following the doctors prescriptions?
Are you getting out and about and meeting other people?
Hi Selena.
It's good to hear from you again.
I'm glad both you and your mum are feeling better, last year was certainly a huge struggle for both of you.
I guess like all of us it's going to take time to heal psychologically. Hope you get your counselling soon.
Meantime I hope you are able to get a bit of you time to go out enjoy people and spend time with people who make you laugh. (bear)
She is generally following, but she is very obstinate.
I cannot say that I'm getting out often this time of year, because the weather is horrible.
BUT I've made a few local friends or strengthened the old acquaintances I've made. These people had been rather nice and try to contact me, if I'm absent. They know so little about me anyway.
And hoping to have a nice holiday in summer and to find a new normal job too.
I’m so pleased you’re getting to know some more local friends - I think it’s so important to be able to get out and meet people face to face
These are mainly the people related to my work -either customers or ex colleagues.
I hope for a mini-holiday or a city break. It will be either Tunisia (if there is a special promotion and my friends agree to go there too).
Maybe Latvia so that I can see my dad (but that is unknown yet). I've been also thinking about London or Rome citybreak.
But all these are dreams...because there is some time until summer and it depends on my mom's condition too.
So glad you are making friends and going out!
Why Tunisia? Is it somewhere you particularly want to go?
I'm sure that you will come up with something fabulous!
I wanted to go there some time ago, but this travel agency called me and told me they have special offer for this year.
Nothing is known yet.
That sounds cool!
If I go to visit my dad, then I will be maybe able to take a short city break to London or Edinburgh.
Then I will be happy to meet you. Hoping anyway to meet you one day in real life, the people who have never judged me and accepted me as I am.
That would be lovely!
If you feel very frustrated, how do you manage to take more or less appropriate decision?
That all depends on the decision. Why don't you talk it through with us lovely?
I'll put it down, just having felt depressed these days and my thoughts have been a little bit messed up.
You can always come and talk to us
What decision, hunni?
What thoughts love?
I've had a misunderstanding with my dad. He had promised before that I could come in Latvia in summer and find a job. Now he has told that his mother doesn't want anyone in their house, neither his girlfriend, nor me...regardless of the person.
I'm feeling betrayed and don't really want to visit them.
Oh, it sounds like he didn’t discuss this with his mother beforehand. My husband is good at doing those sort of things ..... do you know your grandmother well?
Could you stay somewhere near to them?
I don't know yet, but that's a good idea, Paula. I could suggest something, but thank God I have not applied yet and have not paid the air tickets that are rather expensive.
I'd also suggest staying somewhere near, rather than staying with them.
I'm still a little bit frustrated and deeply depressed. I think all this due to the events I have passed through recently, the imminent smell of death...But also harsh work schedule (although my boss calmed down for now), and the fact that I'm losing slowly weight and cannot really accept myself.
On the good side, I've came across a psychoterapist in the same building I'm working in. Well, they are private, but I might consider it anyway (some sessions) because the waiting seems infinite here. I've even briefly talked to her, but they use "psychodrama" method, do you know something about it? What are your thoughts?
I’d not heard of psychodrama, tbh, but in principle it sounds interesting. Are they accredited?
You have been through a lot recently, hunni, and I really believe you need professional help. Please, please find that help
