I find walking my dogs can really help get me away from depression or anxiety for a short period of time. I have to pay attention to the dogs and that least gives my brain something to do that is away from me but is not work. When I am really having a hard time of the therapist, my poor dogs get exhausted from all of the walks. Happily for me, i am too old to get hungover. Or as the therapist has put it, I have too much need for feeling in control that she cannot imagine me getting drunk because I would feel out of control. One of the few things she is not totally wrong about.

LC - you have a team of us ready to take on the man for you. And then we can all process it with the therapists.

MKC - there are not a lot of lesbians who are outdoorsy on tv either. What about dr. Quinn medicine woman or the pilot from northern exposure?(i just saw LC suggested this too). Sally from 3rd rock from the sun?
