Thank you so much for your replies,
Emma, I will take inspiration from your post, I am glad that after your 22 years you are able to be your own best friend. I think perhaps you are right that being less depressed would be a factor here, and there are several issues that contribute to my depression that I still need counselling for.
I hope that one of these days I can post a success story on here, and it does help to read other stories such as yours, where you are getting to grips with things. Thank you for your time, it means a lot.
June, I must admit it did cross my mind that you were infering that I was not perhaps trying hard enough, I apologise, it is so easy to misinterpret things. Please don't take any offense because none was intended . Equally I did understand what you wrote and I still understand how you are affected by all of this too -It is just so frustrating isn't it.on my own I CAN NOT do these exercises they frighten the life out of me.
I suppose I am lucky that my therapist and current CPN don't make me feel too guilty, but I did feel bad when I got a lecture from my GP when I requested some more Diazepam recently, and I have certainly had some inconsiderate support in the past from a CPN. Thank you June for replying, I want to wish you well with your therapy, sorry if came across abrupt.Like you I do try so hard but they still make me feel guilty........ i should be better by now they say
Heres to a neurosis free future!!
