I've learned what a difference it makes staying connected to others, even other the internet. I can't shut the world out, and it's not true that I'm so different and less human than others. It's not true that I don't need or deserve the same things. I need human contact, and connection, and support, like everyone else, and I can't do it all on my own - and I shouldn't try to force myself to. If I stay connected, I can make it back to a place of health, hope, and happiness.
I've learned how to have mindful thinking and how I can calm myself by listening to my breathing and through meditation.
I have learned that I have severe depression, anxiety, and stress. I have been diagnosed with these before and I realized that cognitive therapy works best for me. I really like the site and am looking forward to checking out all the features.
Hi @robresse0608 Thanks for the kind word about features here. It's great to know that you find CBT working best. :) I have also found CBT quite effective. :)
Im still too afraid of talking to anyone, but I realized I'm not alone, and this will be a long journey and I will make it.
Hi @dynamicTree9128. :) Best line I read today "I will make it." by you. It's a powerful positive attitude. Keep posting the progress. :)
I've learned that chatting about my feelings can help me process them more efficiently.
Hi @singsweetly :) Nice to know that. Sharing really helps in healing.
I have learned that depression might come back unexpectedly and that one must fight back.
Hi @emotionalPine52
That's the spirit
so glad you have found the Steps so helpful, very best wishes to you.
Always here Lucy2
I have learned that I just can not ignore my bad feelings or anxiety. I must address them with meditation and/or positive reinforcement so the negative feelings don't spiral out of control.
Hi @Mountain

Today I am crossing off a dream from my bucket list, conquering a phobia and stepping over a boulder in my life.
I am going with someone on a Suzuki 1300 GSXR Hayabusa, I'm quite nervous but very excited.
I'm conquering my phobia of having my head in small spaces by wearing a motorcycle helmet.
And later I'm voluntarily going to my first every therapy session. The ones I have been to before I was always forced to do.
So excited for the progress after this terrible time I have been having.

An update, the bike ride was awesome. What an adrenalin rush (we went at 280km/h) and the helmet did not make me freak out!

On the therapy side, seems they made a mix up and I will be going tomorrow.
