Summer season is well and truly over as far as floating down at the pool goes. The water has been lowered and the chairs and tables put away. It was heavenly while it lasted. I fondly look forward to next summer but have several goals I want to achieve before then. Until then, I have the YMCA pool to float at. I always wander though what that lifeguard thinks of the middle aged woman just floating and pondering in the deep end.

I start with a new therapist tomorrow who specializes in DBT therapy. Researching the history and reason for creation, it’s excellent for SI and the like. Between that, group skills sessions and lithium, I hope to knock a lot of those episodes out. I feel cautiously optimistic. It’s my best shot to date.

I hope everybody has a peaceful evening. Much love
