Hi there Didgee (I like your diagnosis in your signature. Clever.)--

Have you looked into Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)? There are books and classes about it, and even some offered in the Ontarioooo area Not that it can fix all ills, but it integrates mindful living, meditation, and simple yoga techniques to assist with a variety of mental and physical issues.

I'm not a saleperson, I just play one on this forum (ha ha.)

Of the various other techniques I've attempted in conjunction with my medications and therapy, this has helped the most. (You also don't have to reveal more than you wish or provide diagnoses.)

thinking warm thoughts for you (someone who grew up on the US side of Lake Ontario...so cold and dark the SAD lasts 9 months out of the year)
