> So under some stress and you are thinking of writing a paper???? Hum; unless that works for you, and it would not for me, I could think of better things to do to occupy time. Of course I have had to do my job whether my therapist is around or not, and so I could see something like that working. Do I sound like I don't know what the heck I am talking about? Guess I am trying to look at both sides of your dilemma. Take care and thanks for your support.
Haha, the reason why writing the paper works is that I drop my h off at work and then I go to the cafe for 3 hours, and can work in relative peace with unlimited coffee (decaf) for long stretches of time. no housework to distract me. no craft projects beckoning for 6 minutes of my undivided inattention. That's the problem with staying home- I can't seem to concentrate on anything for more than 5 minutes at a time. Then I get kind of bored and agitated and in a foul mood. my mind starts to wander and I wonder what the hell am I doing with my life.
Writing the paper is a double bonus, because I feel some accomplishment. I get a kick out of data analysis. sick, huh? and if my brain is in a funk, I can just format graphs and make tables and stuff like that. busy brain = less space to miss T and the structure that biweekly appts. creates.
I need structure.
