Hi everyone,
It's long lost Adel!
Just wanted to do a quick check in...
I've been very busy as usual. Doing outreach for the residential community that I live in, assisting an outside consultant in stratigic planning to improve life here, networking with local universities to connect us with new interns/ volunteers, and other things I'm sure I haven't thought of right now! I am still running my e-mail list, open to anyone struggling with a mental illness. There is a focus on those that are blind/ visually impaired and are struggling with emotional issues, but many on the list are not visually impaired and we talk about a variety of topics. I also continue to make youtube videos!
I still attend the local mental health center. This cycle for groups I'm doing DBT: distress tolerance, and sandtray group. The therapist I'm currently seeing is an intern at another therapy center who I can see for $10/ session. She does psychodynamic therapy as well as DBT and is very nice.
It's interesting coming back here and taking a look at stuff. Honestly having all mesages come to my inbox as in an e-mail list works much better for me than coming on a forum, so if anyone would like to be in touch more regularly free free to let me know and I'll private mesage you with my e-mail. If you're interested in the e-mail list just go to yahoo groups and type in "blind-mentalhealth" in the search box. In the group description are instructions to subscribe.
Hope things are going well for everyone!
