Hi my name is Fraser and I'm 17.

I'm not sure that I'm that crazy, but I have my problems.

I have been diagnosed with varioous depression disorders and I have a lot of insomnia and a very low self esteem.

I currently see a physchologist and attend CBT sessions.

I would be grateful if you welcomed me to this board and helped me by at least discussing my problems.

Thanks.

Fraser,

Isn't it ironic that you ended up someplace where the only worry is not being crazy enough?

There are many here who experience the same kind of depression that you do, and being young doesn't make your depression less real, or your feelings less valid. I think that if you post, people will read and respond. This isn't the most touchy feely place on the web ( I consider that a good thing), but folks are mostly thoughtful, accepting and polite.

Sit down and stay a while. We're always glad when someone else finds us.

Hanng in there,

Hi, Fraser. It's always nice to see some new usernames around here. ;)

I've been trying to get into CBT for over a year, now. I'll hit the top of the wait list one of these days. How long have you been in it? What do you think of the practice? I'm curious.

For discussion of your particular problems, I'd recommend you poke around the subfora dedicated to each of them. Depressive disorders are over here, sleep disorders are over here, and different aspects of psychotherapy are discussed here and here. Sometimes discussion will come to you, but more often you have to go join in the discussion. I hope you're able to find some useful support around here. Welcome!

Thanks guys. For your welcome, support and guidance. I will be sure to check out the sub-forums and post a little.

CBT is the best therapy I've been referred to yet.

They find out the links between my mind and why it affects my behaviour the way it does. I only had to wait 2 months for me to get to the top of the waiting list. It was well worth the wait. Only had two sessions so far, but I look forward to every one.

Hi Fraser,

Welcome! Make yourself at home. Discussing our problems is what we do best around here, so pull up a chair. Coffee and sodas are over ------------------------------> ;)
