Glad you liked that, Pat. It was a pretty manic post I made that day, but at least one good sentence snuck in. lol.

Funny though, I keep trying to find new ways to say that, to get at the idea of not identifying with how I feel. Well, in my group sessions, they have been going over some "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" text called, "Mind Over Mood." In it, they talk about the importance of the statement like, "I'm depressed; and I'm ok." Or whatever other symptom, and "I'm ok." The way they explain the idea sounds a lot like what I'm getting at when I say such borderline uninteligable gibberish as "If I can get through it without being it...." LOL. But I'm glad you could hear it. Nice to hear from you, Pat.
