Smile Here,

Hi. Thanks, and here are some things which have been helping me cope:

First, I was struggling with trust with my T. I starting writing affirmations like "Therapy is to help me, not to hurt me." "I trust my T." "My T. is trustworthy and safe" - and anyway, its sinking in! I am trusting him more which means therapy is better.

Second, I am doing Guided Imagery and Relaxation which is helping my anxiety (and depression, I think).

I do participate in music, so doing more of that, which is very uplifting.

And I decided to take some tests for my career in January (hard tests) so I am actively studying and keeping my brain active and busy.

And I forced myself to eat, and that is getting to be more normal again as well as decent sleep.

Oh - I'm also back to active journaling, and writing is a good tool for me.

One thing I want to add is exercise - I really need to, but just haven't been able to motivate myself yet.

Not everything is 100%, but it is much improved.
