btw, sorry for going off topic - while I am seeing my therapist 2-3x week, I also have a personal trainer 2x week and work out 2x week on my own. I walk 5 miles a day as my sanctuary. I also do massage therapy as frequently as I can afford. I am on various medications that have an affect on my moods.
I use this forum for support and I read various therapy and self help books. I have even looked into nutritional elements.
I can tell you that all of the pieces put together make a difference for me and when some piece of this full package gets off, I start to struggle in some way. Any one of these by itself does make things some better, all of them together seem to be making more lasting changes for me. This is my experience, what I feel are my needs based on how I define quality of life and my mental health.
