Dr. Clueless Wants me to Color

Posted by Poet on April 1, 2008, at 17:54:02

She upped the Lexapro to 20mg and said that I need to exercise more and drink less alcohol. What I expected her to suggest.
Then she said some people find painting or drawing helps with anxiety, depression and improving concentration. I gave her a dagger look and she said, you don't have to draw something yourself, you can get a child's coloring book and pay attention to staying within the lines.
It appealed to one of my inner kids so on the way home I bought a Peanuts coloring book and a Tom and Jerry/Flintstones coloring book and some crayons.
Beats her other suggestion of meditation as I have tried it and those negative thoughts do not get replaced with positive ones. Coloring is more my mental speed.
