A page in the diary "No Face"

I just had my first appointment with my help from Guidelight today. I have to see the doctor about increasing medications first before we, that is to say myself and my help, go further. There are two things that my help said, Sadness and enjoyment. I have to get rid of the sadness with the help of medicaion before I can truely enjoy things in life. She made sense. She also said to me that I have to write a daily diary of how I am doing and wat I do during the day, like behaviors food activities moods ect. Also I have to think of the 10 most significant things in my life. I have to send that too her before our next appointment so she can see what is getting me down. Hopefully this will help me.
I need to see light at the end of the tunnel. I need to see something that is worth it. I just want to get out of here - I just dont want to feel like this anymore - it is going to kill me one of these dayz...

Hello Cody

It was nice talking to you last night. Thank you for the advice and just being there.
Hooray for the first appointment. What she said is true, with mental illness there is an inexplicable sadness that comes with it and you have to conquer it with things that make you happy, but with depression the things you used to like change and sometimes disappear to. The diary will help - you can even copy and list the 10 items here if you want. The light at the end of the tunnel can appear faint, far or non-existent but you've made the first step. Please don't think of harming yourself. Yesterday you said you were afraid of being alone and so sad - we are here and if it helps I feel the same way. If you need someone to talk to come on chat...take care Cody.
