That's good. That's kind of what I am striving for though time will tell. I am starting to see it as cyclical and perhaps even necessary in some ways. I'm one of those people that needs to hibernate sometimes. I come out of it so maybe that is not really a bad thing (as long as I can manage the paycheck part). Meds don't really let you do that so I can see hoe they can be detrimental in that respect. It's about listening to your mind and acceptance. The therapy is helping with acceptance.
