when will this end?

[Nemoandthefishes]

went to a positive thinking course yesterday and if anything it has just made me feel worse..lol
At the end they had one of those write down what you had learnt about yourself things so of course everyone was writing away and I didnt want to do it then thought sod it will write it down then bin it..next woman says put it in the bowl and we will read them out.fjkbskjfljbhfislrenbjjd arghhhh
Everyone else had put really good stuff about meeting new people in same situation, feeling happiness from teh group etc etc..what did I put..I have no self worth or identity!!Of course next thing I was in tears and just felt crap..now I cant shake the feeling no matter what I am trying to do it just keeps repeating over in my head and now I cant stop crying

I don't know your story, Nemo, but want to send you good wishes. I'm feeling quite low at the moment and it's very hard to imagine that things can change when you feel like that

hi nemo and any others feeling low i have had pnd 2 times now the first time a lot worse than the second .i want you all to know that it does get better it takes time but with the right help you can get your old self back .i was suicidal the first time so when i got it a second time i had the hindsight to know i would get better.

hi nemo. how are you feeling today?

Will this help?

a group positive thinking course does sound a bit of a mad concept, I can see why if you are feeling a bit fragile it wouldn't feel particularly helpful to have to go through the counselling type stuff about your feelings in front of others. then again maybe I'm too negative and should go to one of these things myself . maybe it's not the right sort of activity for you atm, if you've got a good HV or CPN maybe you could discuss further with them?

The identity thing may partly ?primarily be tied up in the whole SAHM role. Maybe a course that isn't about you would be better at helping you get your identity back, as I think having an outside interest helps you feel more of an individual?

As for the personal stuff - you know I don't do gushy but feck me, you've always been there for me, through some thick and thin times.

[TotalChaos]
