Hi, Biiv,
Good to see you here again! I saw your post about being back here on PC and I didn't respond, but felt a warm welcome to you nonetheless.
I like Sabau's suggestions about lists. I make lists myself, not about major things, but just little tedious things that must be accomplished. I had a big list of such things that i"ve gradually checked off this past week, and I feel a sense of accomplishment at having attended to them!

Now, about emotional pain and depression....There are different kinds of pain...some kinds stem from events and interactions, relationships (of which I've known much), and some stem from lifelong conditioning. Which, if I may ask, do you think is causing you distress at this time...or is it both? I have experienced both, as I'm sure most others here have as well, and I may have some insights for you regarding either.
And, oh, yes!, I too have felt totally whipped and depressed upon leaving a therapist's visit.
Love
Patty
