For depression I'm in therapy e/o week. There's alot of constructive "homework" that goes with that. I'm journaling daily, which is new for me, but I'm enjoying it. Working out has helped a bunch and I've recently joined a support group to talk to others who have been through the same thing. My mom has been a big help with this. She suffers from depression and counsels people full time so I talk to her alot about how I'm feeling in between therapy sessions. I think the biggest thing I'm doing is actively reaching out when I have a tough time. I would never have done that in the past. Talking through my feelings usually helps me see things clearer. I am fortunate that I have a few close people who can help me with that.

As for GAL,
I've started dance lessons and going to clubs to practice. Thats something I've always wanted to learn but H wouldn't ever go.
I've joined a running club so I can meet people who have similar interests. I love live music and comedy so I've been doing more of that with friends. I've taken up with some friends for game night a couple times a month. I'm renovating our house the way we wanted it, with a few of my own wants thrown in. I've re-connected with friends I let fall away in the last year, we've been going out to see local music shows together. I took a trip to visit family over my wedding anniversary in Oct. I'm trying to plan another trip to visit friends in CO this spring, finances willing. I've been spending alot more time with family too and making new friends at my new job.
