Great you could talk to Rex and get a bit of clarification about talking to each other. I tend to withdraw when I'm in a funk, get critical, and Scott almost always calls me on it :-)

So, what sorts of things are you finding that might make you happy? I go for little things; take a few dollars to a large dollar store or flea market or grocery store and find the "one" item that I want LOL. Then I think about why I want/wanted it, what it symbolizes, etc.
