Dear Noa:
I miss you (and all the others) from my days with LOTL. Your wisdom is so practical and on the mark. I had to unsubscribe because I found that I was getting overstimulated with all of the messages on the board and I was at that point sharing my boyfriend's computer with him. We now have another new one upstairs, yeah! I was so sorry to hear about your fainting episode this morning. Pretty scary, huh? I hope that you will get it checked with your gp.Your idea of the light box is a great one. I, actually had a practitioner suggest this to me a couple of years ago and I was so stuck in the quagmire of other issues at that point, it never happened. I think that despite the obvious connection to being physically ill lately that the change in seasons may also be playing a part in this. There certainly is a letdown in the end of summer here in this neck of the woods. From bustle to dead in ten seconds flat. When I go to therapy tomorrow, I'll inquire about the cost of boxes.
Thanks again, for your kind words and advice. I'll be thinking about you and praying that your fainting spell was nothing more than just being so excited about being an elementary teacher and the anticipation of having your kids arrive this morning (just as I'm sure my son's teacher does over him each day!!!) ;)
fondly, dari

> A couple of weeks back, I think I may have written about how when I am sick, it is hard to fight off the depression. Partly psychological--I start to feel like "here we go again, another thing to get in the way of functioning normally", which is just the same old confirmation of negative beliefs about myself--and partly physical--the body is fatigued, fighting off infection, etc., and those feelings seem so similar to the physical experience of depression, it is easy to have the boundaries blur.
