It's always been very difficult for me to reach out for help, but I feel that I am in over my head at this point.

Last year I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety. Ever since I was little, I've seen myself through the lens that my mother has created -- a lens that paints me as an incompetent, ungrateful, irresponsible individual. Fortunately, with the help I've sought both personally and professionally, I've decided that it's time for a great change to happen in my life. But trust me when I say that it's very hard to alter the way I view myself when self-hatred is all I've ever known.

Right now, I'm trying to muster up the courage to look for a job (so I can earn enough money to get the hell out of here!), which is proving more difficult that I'd hoped. Please, if you can, spare some energy for me at this time. I am trying so hard to be confident in my abilities and to shut out the voice of self-doubt, but I could really use a little help.

Thank you so much, and blessings to all.

:hugz: Dressing a candle for you and adding you to my prosperity workings!

I would also like to add that you make it a habit to look into the mirror every day and say at least 5 good things about yourself. Do this until you believe it! Sometimes we have to use positive affirmations until things finally sink in because we went thru years of psychological "warfare" where we were conditioned to believe the things that were said even though they may have not been true. Then we begin to act based on those thoughts. You will have alot of work ahead of you in changing those patterns, but it can be done!

The candles that I dress for you will be to help you feel better about yourself and for confidence and strength and self worth! Adding to the prosperity workings for a great job that you will like that will pay enough for your needs to be met and a little extra!:hugz: Be strong and realize that this will all take some time, but also be persevering and determined to be successful! Believe in yourself, you can do anything that you put your mind to! :)

You might want to consider this loving-kindness meditation here. (http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/loving-kindness.htm) Although it's from Buddhism, it's secular & involves positive affirmations. I've found it to be very helpful for my depression.

Good luck & sending energy your way. :hugz: :hugz: :hugz:

Thank you all so much. I am very gracious for your words of encouragement. Please know that.

I may not have many posts to my name, but I have no idea what I'd do without Mystic Wicks and its wonderful members! :)
