Pinksoil!

You sound better! Awesome!

Yeah I'm not big into yoga either. Try some high-intensity stuff like step aerobics (my favorite) or maybe kickboxing. Those can be super-intense and you'll get a high out of it once you get used to it (it's hard at first because you have to build up your endurance). Cycling classes are also really intense. You sound like you'd like weight-lifting. It doesn't have the same endorphin effect, but it still makes you feel good. And the physical exhaustion helps with sleeping, etc. My mood noticeably improves when I'm exercising and noticeably decreases when I'm not. I had way less depression after I started it.

Yeah I can imagine it would suck to go down to only once a week for therapy. But you have a great therapist and you'll manage.

Hey, I finally see my therapist again today! I haven't seen him since week before last. I have group therapy tonight and individual therapy tomorrow. Of course all I'm gonna do this evening is whine to the group about my eyeball problem. I hope the group can deal with it. :-)

Sometime I'd like to hear your opinion on group therapy. What people does it help, etc? Just curious what you've learned. It must be so fascinating to study this stuff....

I bet you will be a really good therapist. You have lots of insight, and you'll be able to overcome the SI, etc. I'm sure of it! You will be awesome!
