When I do this, I do well.
I am looking for and hoping for tips... from all of you, things that work.

Here is my one thing I am doing right now thatis helping.

Making a list of what I need to do... needs to get on paper... it is in my head right now... and one step at a time diong the next right thing to do what I need to do.

THese are at home things needing to be done, fun things I want to do and goals I have.. which take steps to accomplish.

WHen I work on what I need to do to take care of me, tand go where I want to go without ws... or with ws... if that ever happens... I feel better.

What do you guys do, I particuarly get into deprssion funks and feel like doing nothing... sometimes I get into a funk that is so hard to get out of ... my house starts to seem like hurricane A hit.

Anyway... this morning have gotten up and gotten started on the lsit... maybe the coffee helps? Or just knowing what I am suppossed to do?

Thanks for any tips and suggestions, I hope this will help others.

Honey,

Can I suggest an addition to your list? You have a hot temper like me and the one thing that helped my temper the most was working out every night to video tapes. I worked off some MAJOR steam and fury. I would call it the most effective self help method that I had in my arsenal when my first H left me in 1999. When I worked out, I would get lost in the work out and forget my nightmare for that hour. It also became a habit that I practice to this day.

thanks ML... working out always helps me feel better too... need to do it more. Going to church right now.. then a bball game, will do it later today! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> I have the firm tapes, pilates, yoga, etc.

Thanks, H

I stopped reading all the A books and started reading books that I wanted to read for the fun of it!

Thanks for the thread - I could use more ideas!
