On the bumpy road towards found...

[iamlost]

Thanks, GFI. I'm just so drained right now. I've experienced pretty much every emotion there is in the last 12 hours.

But...I have to immediately get back on the Detachment Bus--he's made it clear that ML did not change anything. Clearly, and in a really loud and angry voice.

In other news and along that same theme, I'm reading a really good book that I saw recommended to someone else on another thread. It's called Feeling Good by David Burns, M.D. He's a solution-oriented, cognitive psychiatrist. The book is apparently clinically proven to improve people's depression in 4 weeks just by reading it. I shiz you not.

It's too bad that the book advertises itself as being about depression, because I don't think most people even realize that they are depressed. I took the clinically-proven diagnostic test in the book, and low and behold--I'm moderately depressed! Turns out I was mildly depressed during my marriage, severely depressed right after the bomb, and now I'm just moderately. Lucky me.

Read it if you're depressed, but also read it if you want to improve your self-esteem and stop negative thinking patterns. That's why I got it, and it seems really good for that so far, as long as you're willing to do some work on changing the way you think about yourself.

I'm going to go curl up with it in a little while after I check on some threads...
