Still trying to find my way

Really though, how do you screw up a trip to the park? I'm not sure but I'm afraid that I'll find out.

Mystik- your antidepressants meds ARE NOT WORKING! This is a huge indication of depression on top of the crying! Guilt and feelings of self worthlessness are on the list!

I need to work on feeling more competent, more capable of doing things without assistance from anyone else.

Awesome- your first self improvement/GAL goal!

Darn it though...I hope I am not "assisting" you with this suggestion for jazzing up a trip to the park.... You can have your DS to a timed relay something like

"In 2 minutes, you are supposed to swing 10 times,hop on your foot from the swing to the play structure, go down the slide and cross the monkey bars. Ready? Set? GO!"

you can also do relay of crab walk, skipping, sprinting, etc.

Does your DS have any friends? COuld you invite one to come play with him at the park? The 2 would be able to occupy each other and take the pressure off of you.

Oh and please consider what I said about your anti-ds!
