Welcome to My Blog

Hello!

I am successfully being treated for major depressive disorder. Besides seeing my lovely psychologist regularly and my psychiatrist several times a year, I put a lot of effort into self-care.

I hope my journey and efforts encourage you.

If you are having an emergency, psychiatric or otherwise, go the emergency room or call 911 or your local paramedics. Call your doctor. Call the police. Call someone!!!!

You are worthy enough to be alive on this planet.

Visualization is an Ice Cream Cone

I did a visualization exercise with Dr. Miller on Thursday. She did the talking, and I did the imagining with my eyes closed. It was like giving an ice cream cone to my hot, tired brain. I recommend this technique. She was very realistic and didn't leave out the steps involving the hard crucial work. But my hands are usually sticky from the melting ice cream when I do eat a real ice cream cone, so I'd expect visualization to involve some stickiness too.
