Tad I have had a particularly difficult month where I've cycled back in terms of depression symptoms to month one post-bomb--jitters, anxiety attacks, the whole 9 yards. I've done a ton of stuff to help pull myself out of it (this cycling is normal but it STINKS) and I wanted to mention something that has been VERY helpful to me. It's a book Eric recommended awhile ago that I'm rereading, "Let Go Now: Embracing Detachment" by Karen Casey. Each page has a statement about detachment and a 1-2 paragraph explanation and then a sort of mantra or affirmation at the end of that. Then after several pages, there is a page of suggestions for you to do, either things to practice that day, or things to journal about. I swear to you, this book just gives me this serene feeling. It's really remarkable. I read several pages each night and sometimes if I'm antsy, in the day too.
It's cheap/paperback on amazon, or take it out from your library, but it's so simple and so helpful and might be perfect for where you are right now.
Glad to hear the job is going to be good!
