jacqueline, I agree with you. It's sad to see that not too many people are willing to work on themselves on their own.
Just recently I visited another site very strong on self-help and using that Dr's techniques, I destroyed a trigger from my past. I posted about it, but had no responses. It was in PTSD. You'd think people would want to do destroy triggers for themselves. PTSD isn't any fun!
I do a lot of gardening from my wheelchair. It's a plus in my book that I do it in a wheelchair. For me, it's therapy to get my hands in the dirt and mud, to see my nurturing pay off when flowers smile back at me, when droppy leaves perk up and especially when I harvest what little veggies I can grow in my postage stamp sized yard. Not to mention "putting up" said veggies and fruits. I also listen to Gospel music alot. The music itself is a pick-me-up and the truths in the words are invaluable.
There are a few crafts that I'm into right now but I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and I try them out. Keeps the mind from going stale, ya know?
It's been a while since I've been able to sit down and read a book but when I do, it's not a dumb novel or fiction. It's usually a self-help book or something that will leave something of value in my life.
I say HOORAH for you and me and people like us! We rock!
