I was notified this morning that I was not selected for the job that I really didn't want but thought I should take, because I've only had these 2 interviews since January -- and therefore, I should take any job, no matter what.

Mostly, I'm relieved that I don't have to make a choice about whether to accept or refuse an offer. Mixed in with fear about the future.

Working really hard today to get back on track, get up earlier, make to-do lists, frind a chepaer place to live. I have these spurts of self-discipline, then I fall apart.

I'd like to put this out here: Would anyone be interested in joining a regularly schedule chat to discuss a book that we will select for reading about how to recover from depression. My first choice would be a book called Psychological Self-Help, bec. it is available as a free download, for voluntary contribution, at mentalhelp.org

I know we would have to clear this with Dr. Grohol to do it here, but there are other free online chat services as well.

My background is as a college teacher. So I've moderated classroom discussion. And I've participated in online interviews and chats for a class that I took last summer. I really see it just as a way to regularly schedule a productive internet activity, learning about techniques that can help, and what has helped others, how they tweaked suggestions, what didn't work. How to keep going, even after we slide back.
