Hey all I haven’t been around for a while so I just wanted to see how everyone is doing? I am in a good place right now. About to quit therapy. So soon I will have no therapy and only see my pdoc once a month. I am hoping this good streak keeps going but I may have to start going into the office soon so that is a wrinkle I am not looking forward to. I mean I am switching offices to be with the girl I mainly work with so that is good and it might do me good to get out of the house but teleworking is so easy and saves me 2 hours a day. I really think I could do with some actual human contact though. Just keeping my fingers crossed that the change in routine doesn’t throw me off kilter.

How are you all doing?

Hi! Haven’t seen you around. I’m glad you’re doing so well. I’ll get there someday haha.

Working virtually is definitely easier, but I agree, human interaction is good for me too!

Thanks for checking in, Crook! It's helpful to hear back from members with updates like yours. I'm also glad you've been well and look at your return to the office in a positive light. I need more face-to-face interactions, too.

I've been doing well for a while now, despite a move abroad. I do still see a therapist along with a psychiatrist, but see both less frequently than in the past. If you start to feel the need for more support as you go back to the office, can you have occasional check-ins with a therapist?

Hi Crook, I'm glad to see your check-in. It's great, how well you're doing! Yay!!

I was quite well and stable over the winter; spring has been more stressful. But, you know how it is...cycles.

Working from home as opposed to in-office...that would be such a tough decision for me. If I could, doing 1/2 at each location would be ideal.
