Hi Orchid,
Thanks for the tips. I will try and see if music helps. I think you're right... I think it could be a distraction from the thoughts that would distract me from my work, if that makes sense.
And I'll see if I can work in 10-15 minute chunks. I've never tried that; I tend to need to concentrate for long periods (at least two hours) or I forget what I'm trying to do. But I can't concentrate for two-hour periods when I'm depressed. I wonder if I can plan my work better so that I can do it in smaller sections...
Something that sometimes works is lighting a candle (if I'm working at home). I let the flame 'take' the distracting thoughts. But it doesn't work if I'm really down.
Thanks, Orchid. Oh, and I've replied to your babblemail by the way!
