Hey Mystic and all
I have had a really nice day. Finished up my research project and all I have to do now is present it to the community next week. I am so excited to be going home. Only 6 days until my Daddy comes and takes me from this place! I am pampering myself this weekend. I just had an hour massage and am feeling pretty damn good. I went to the health food store and got some green beans and a nice piece of salmon. Yum! I also went running in the park then to the gym, really working on the whole weight thing. Tomorrow, I am getting a manicure and pedicure. Celebrating my last week of graduate school. Go me!
Mystic, I had no idea of your abuse. Have you struggled with depression/anxiety before or is this a first time for you. If it is a first you are very lucky! I have done a lot of research on the negitive effects of survivors of child abuse. It is so important that you have a great therapist. I of course am a big fan of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This believe that your thoughts influence your behavior which influence your emotions. You learn to recognize these thoughts, challange them ayd finally get rid of them. This allows you to feel so much better. I use it with all my clients and it works really well.
K about a alternitive therapist, only you can know whats right for you but if things do not seem to be getting better or getting to the root of why your are depressed or anxious, it is more unlikely that you will be able to see long term results. I tried all the breathing stuff before I started Lex and it could not calm me down! Of course everyone is different and whatever makes you feel better is awesome!
Good luck all...God Bless
Lexy
PS I am a big loser tonight, is anyone going to be around ?
