Unless you’ve been living under a rock this past year, you probably noticed that one of our regular contributors here has been Therese Borchard. However, she blogs more often and more regularly on her beliefnet.com blog, …

One statement in here nailed what I’ve been struggling with. I too overwork/overthink things to an exhausting, unproductive place where my own mind becomes my enemy.
I am so sick of myself that I declared a “so what day”. I’m going to not try to do anything to fix my life today. I am so damn tired I would cry, if I could. It’s been a long time since life has meant more to me than an assignment to do the best I can to survive until, thankfully, I can die. Ms. Borchard’s writing so often speaks to my struggles that the people in my life often dismiss. Miserable depression really wasn’t my choice on career day in High School. Hooray for Therese

You are now talking health reform will be changed soon; we trust that Obama and his staff do what is necessary for the welfare of families. This reform must be appropriate because many families depend on it, the health system a long time that is weak and patients suffering from cancer, chronic fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson’s, diabetes, chronic pain, chronic anxiety among many other diseases, Need proper medical attention, according to the measure should be findrxonline for 80% of patients with these diseases.
Thank you, John!! I’m very touched! t
I have been hearing more and more of T.J. Borchard and I have to tell you I am very intrigued by her and her work. I will be picking up a copy of “Beyond Blue” at Amazon immediately. You guys here at PsychCentral made a very wise decision picking her up as a regular contributor. Bravo and Thank You.
I am about 3/4 the way through beyond blue. Have lived with depression all my life since I can remember. Sometimes thinking I needed to toughen up and not be so sensitive. I am a constant worrier about everything. I don’t think I have manic-depressive because I never look forward to anything much. I have ask myself what I would like to do and I can’t think of anything. Have a very supportive and loving family and three grown girls and 9 grandchildren. What more could I ask for,. they are all healthy,. I don’t think about killing myself as much as Therese did but I think that’s because I have always been taught I would go straight to hell. I have really just laid down and wish I could die. Therese book has hit home on many layers though and made me realize more and more that it isn’t something I can just snap out of. I have been to many doctors and they have not help much. The medicine do hlep me with my obsessive compulsive tendeny which was trying me up a wall. The medicine have made it bearable. Thanks
