I think that I have been going through something similar lately, although I can't really put my finger on its cause... <BR/><BR/>Hope you bounce back very soon!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397908781677596824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13458143.post-5994711625477476982007-12-13T18:39:00.000-05:002007-12-13T18:39:00.000-05:00You know Sue this is the first Christmas in 4 year...You know Sue this is the first Christmas in 4 years where the abiding and consuming thought throughout the season isn't how different it will be since Mom isn't here. Four years. Who knew?<BR/><BR/>My serious bout with depression was ten years ago which had nothing to do with Mom at all. What helped me the most was singling out one thing everyday that was a treat for, first, getting up and second, interacting with my family, and third going to work.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the treat was a bubble bath, sometimes it was reading and not fixing dinner (my husband did), sometimes it was taking a drive. Just something to look forward to each day. Liberating myself from my routine, because most of the time I like it and my lists, helped a lot. I quit doing stuff that I felt I "should" do.<BR/><BR/>Although, as a therapist you probably know all this stuff already.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868327419940314643noreply@blogger.com
