Jai,
I have two dogs. Tig is psycho. I used to have him on imipramine. Then I decided it did not help him enough. He acts nuts outside around people and animals. All my neighbors are afraid of him. I would be too. He is happy inside so I keep in inside most of the time.
I just started biking and kayaking. Someone loaned me a bike. They let me use their kayak too. How long have you been biking and canoeing?
Do you find it difficult to do when you are depressed?I have always liked to hike the most. I like to hike in the mountains most especially around water. I find water and water falls about the only natural thing that calms me.
I have been on disability for a long time. Most of the time I have worked at least part time. Not in two years now. If I can get a job that I am able to calm the negative thoughts I have on the job down I feel a lot better when I am working. What my father just never seemed to understand is that first I have to be just well enough to work, able to feel okay enough to get up and get there and feel good enough not to freak out if I make a mistake or think my supervisor hates me etc. Once I am well enough to be able to accomplish that and be able to go through the stress of finding a job he is right I feel even better when I am working. It is just being able to get to and maintain that equilibrium.
Sorry about your ankle. How did that happen? Is it in a cast? That is such an inconvenience. Think about how much we take for granted the use of both our arms and legs and all our toes and fingers until something like that happens. It really is amazing how the smallest thing makes such a big impact on our lives.
You are really sweet.
Hope your back on your feet soon,
irene
