@Blue_Bird Just be careful. You don't want to mess with what's working.

@June08 I know what you mean about feeling like therapy just isn't helping. That was the way it was with me. I went through at least a dozen therapists and didn't click with a single one and I didn't feel like I gained any insight I didn't already have on my own or that I could look up on the internet so what was the point? I know moving is very stressful, so take it easy on yourself. I hope today goes better than yesterday.

@Brentus Good job standing up for yourself! It's hard to do sometimes, but darn it, if a company doesn't treat you right, you should complain. H goes so far as to not only complain to the company but to also complain to the BBB (Better Business Bureau).

I hope everyone else is doing well. @raspberrytorte How are you doing?

I'm having a good day, got around 7.5 hr. sleep though I had around a 10-15 min. wake around 2:30 AM thanks to Pecan before falling back to sleep again. I took a power walk; ugh, no more nice cool weather! It felt so good to shower. I had some banana bread & my coffee, read with the SAD lamp. The SAD lamp is so weird for me. It's like if I don't use it by the afternoon, I'm really feeling it, and on the days I use it, most of the time (situational of course) I actually feel happy. I can honestly say this is the first time I've been able to feel happiness in probably 10 years, maybe longer. I've been depressed a lot or hypomanic or at best flat but not just happy, so it's nice I drew a couple of cat pictures and painted a melon with watercolor (all in the creative corner). The watercolor is rough, but I'm a novice; I honestly have not used watercolors since I was in kindergarten or first grade, something like that!

I hope everyone has a great day!
