Hi Ronaldo,
thanks for your suggestions. I think you are right about getting out and enjoying life more.I guess I will try to do some life-style modifications and see if I can lift my moods. Just to see the extent to which my meds dampen the enjoyment of activities I usually enjoy.
retail therapy-- um, I've already spent my RT budget for this month. Art supplies (calligraphy) earrings and cosmetics. I do feel happier when I get to play with my new toys :)
I am pretty good about avoiding babble when I know it's going to get me down. I find it kind of soothing to think about other people's problems- gets me out of my own head for a bit. But when the suffering is bad, and I feel like I have nothing to add, I have felt hopeless in the past. That's one danger of babble. Another danger is that we might expect a magic answer to our big problems, but it rarely happens that way. I've been trying to recognize when my expectations are too unrealistic. My T is helping me with that. I'll try to find some new museums/galleries/aquarium/zoo/garden park thing that I haven't been to before. I have a student discount, so many things shouldn't be too expensive. There are a lot of free opportunities that I can take advantage of too.
Thanks Ronaldo :)
