Hello Falconer: Well... I don't know if there is much I can offer here. But I saw no one had replied to your post. So I thought I would. I'm no longer on med's of any sort nor do I see a therapist. I also don't know what my diagnosis would be since I've never received an actual diagnosis from any of the mental health professionals I've seen over the years. I think, at some point, they just figure it's irrelevant. Perhaps they're right. I am an older person. So anything I might suggest may not be of much relevance to you.

I do walking meditation. (I've never been able to maintain a sitting medication practice.) Plus I also do quite a bit of just regular walking too. I also practice a Buddhist technique called "compassionate abiding". I'll give you a link to a nice description of it. I avoid watching scary, frightening stuff on TV or the internet & I don't go to movies. The music I listen to consists primarily of chant & what used to be referred to as "New Age". And then, beyond that, I have pretty-much a set routine every day. It varies a bit... but not a lot. I'm no longer working & I live a pretty solitary lifestyle. So I'm at home most of the time. And do pretty-much the same things day-after day.

Thanks for this!
