Hi everyone!

I am new here, and tring to figure out my way around. I have the program and been using it for 4 weeks. I am doing somewhat better than before. I have generalized anxiety, IBS, depression, perfectionist, and who knows what else. I have been doing ok, just today is hard. I needed someone to talk to. I don't want to pay for the phone, to much money. So I found this place.
Here is a little about my life.I have a boyfriend, he is very loving but not very understanding. Yes I have yelled at him because of my issues, he wants to give up on us every time. He won't listen to the program(for it can help him)he is a bit ****y. He has been through a different program ESP (I believe it is called) a long time ago, it doesn't exist anymore. Too powerful, he says. Anyhow, because of that he dosen't think he needs this one, and HE DOES!!
I am 21 I was in an abusive home as a child. I am adopted. Just recently found my family, lost them at the age of 12 or 13. My adopted mother kept me isolated from the world. Grew up on a farm. Got kicked out because of mother's lying boyfriend at the age of 19. Knowing nothing I married a goofball (going though a divorce right now). Just got my GED!!!
Found the love of my life, but because of my issues almost messed it up. I cheated on him. We are back to gether, tring to fix it and me!!
My adopted parents and grandparents are all dead, and I nursed all but my grandpa, and wasn't there when my adopted mother died(because of lying boyfriend).

Things are getting better and I am moving on. Thanks for your time, it feels good just to get it out!!

Wow Tina, you've been through a lot. You've had a lot of bad things happen to you at such a young age and I know you're having a hard time. But now you have to try to put some of that behind you. This program and this forum is going to help you greatly. There's always going to be someone waiting here whenever you need someone to talk to.

Take care of yourself.

Hi Tina,
Welcome to the club. I am only in session two but I find this online stuff very comforting and connecting. I also noticed that it helps me to read the forums of the sessions that I'm in week to week. It's interesting to see how other people view the material as we go along. I'm so sorry to hear of all that you've been through in your young life, but I commend you for taking part in the program - it will help - I really do believe it. Good Luck to You and God Bless! And remember, you are not alone!

Thanks I look forward to talking to you all.

Welcome. I am glad you have signed on. It does help to tell your story. I find reading the posts helps me too. And sometimes someone will answer one with a suggestion that helps. I have found that not all my posts are answered. So if that happens to you doen't get discouraged. I just keep reading others posts. When I am discouraged I don't call people even if they are in the same town. I figure they don't want to talk to me if I am down. so this is a good forum. We are all trying to get better andhaving troubles. Does warm weather help you feel better?
