Thanks everyone. I appreciate the many responses and the variety of self-soothing tips. I too, find it sad that there are many of us who do not have someone, or some two, to turn to during our times of dispair. My husband tries but he isn't much of a talker and so our conversations are limited. Plus, he gets sleepy easily so even when he's not traveling our time together is limited.
I am sinking deeper and deeper into a bad place again, haven't been there in a couple of months. Your suggestions about writing, puzzles, music, etc. I suspect are all going to come in handy. I've been keeping journals since starting therapy, but haven't been movitated to do much writing lately or much of anything lately 'cept lay on the couch. My pdoc recommended a day treatment program so I'm going to give that a try tomorrow.
I haven't worked this past year, have my own business helping organizations manage change, go figure. I feel badly that I'm not contributing to the house economics, but just can't sustain a business now with clients and their issues.
So thanks again for the feedback, empathy, personal experiences, and suggestions. I'm really finding this board full of compassionate, understanding people and for that I'm greatful.
And sassyfrancesca, I will take you up on your offer. And I promise not to abuse your generosity.
Hugs,
LS
