we went on our first family vacation in years right before I wound up in the psych hospital, probably because I couldn't handle the return to reality. I live 2 hours away from the beach but I am not really a beach person and it has been getting in the low 30s at night so not sunny California per se. As I said in another post I get out a lot but it isn't fun outings it is like go to the therapist go to the doctor go to the oncologist go to the bank go to the grocery store take brother to the doctor etc. I am a homebody even when I am not depressed and am happy, but I am working on friendship building and am going to mention this to my therapist as a main goal right now.
