Good for you:-)
I hope I can see your website some time. What a great thing for you! Also, I heard once (actually a few times) that "What you see in others often reflects what you see in yourself" That includes the good:-) Keep the faith.
Take good care,
Kristen

Hi Kristen,
I'm better today - in the sense that I am just getting through the day the best way I know how. For some reason I have found it quite comfortable to sit at my computer today and organize my photo album on the web site I am building. It relieves my guilt, because I've been wanting to do it, and I'll have something to "show" for my time, and it keeps me focused. It also helps me get back in touch with who I am. Still, I am going to call the Dr. tomorrow, and I am going to make a much bigger effort to get back to looking at my thought processes. You probably saw the CBT thread Matt started...
I find, as much as I don't want to see it, I have picked up traits from both of my parents - positive and negative. This can really be bad when mom always says "daddy is bad because he is this way and that way" and then you realize - hey - but I'm that way too! So the CBT helps with that, too.
Its hard to find a good therapist, for sure, but worth it when you do. My last one was just like a big mirror - she always helped me see just what was going on with me - patterns, etc. I always felt like I learned or remembered something about myself when I saw her, and that gave me hope.
Well, I'm going to try to get some better sleep tonight - the extra Effexor I took yesterday drove me bonkers last night -
Take care,
PV
