> Today was my last day of school and I am so relieved, I have so many thing I have neglected because of my depression. So I feel like this is my chance of renewal. I am excited about my internship, I have learned so much from it already.
sounds to me like your life has taken a turn for the better. at least you feel like you are once again the "master" of your own life. no profs dictating what you must turn in, and when deadlines are. (I find deadlines to be oppressive and depressing).

> I think the Prozac is helping finally, and if only I can deal with some of the side effects. I can now understand why some don't take their meds because of the side effects can be really bad.
>
yep. meds are tricky, and they can really mess with your mind (in good ways and bad)> I have don't have therapy for a couple of weeks, and maybe I need a break from it. It is such a commitment emotionally, I think I should take advantage of this opportunity to think about my life.. I have been working hard and have built a wonderful relationship with my T that I value so much. I know I can go the the hard places with him because he cares about me and I feel safe with him.
> I am going on a mini vacation next week full of hiking and canoing in one of my most favorite places. We have this log cabin with a full kitchen so you can eat breakfast in your pajamas and has a hot tub for after all the hiking that is done on the very rugged trails. We can have a campfire outside and roast marshmallows for smores with the kids. I feel a little guilty because I should be saving money, but our family needs this time away.
>a strong therapeutic relationship can tolerate some "breaks" god knows I've had enough breaks this year already, and it's only april...
time to get the family together for some r&r. wonderful plan. screw the money. quality time isMUCH more important.
best wishes,
