Ddo and S.A.D

Winter is on its way here in good old Suncheon - cold nights and dropping leaves. I am having mild flare ups of anxiety and loneliness, and my good old friend 'fucked up social perception' where in I don't reach out to anyone or make any plans and then sit around and feel sorry for myself and think everyone dislikes or is disgusted by me.

Your Fri my Sat sounds good. You guys are two hours behind us in addition to being reversed I think, so my 9a would be your 7p - I'll be on around then and whenever you guys want to pop on is grrrreat. Stephen should be around also, he really likes it when we manage to all get together.

Yeah - SAD is not our friend for sure. I've been getting outside in the high sun parts of the day for walks, and doing some good old cognitive therapy.

I'd be totally up for some DDO this week - I think I'm free any night except tonight.

I don't get much SAD - I guess living in a grey climate for 26 years is good for something! I'm not immune, though.

Montreal's summer made me feel great, and I'm looking forward to the snow.

I don't know if we'll get snow this year or not - its pretty unusual here! I am thinking your guys' friday night - our sat morning. Stephen can join us as well. I'll be generally around also, so feel free to send me an im if you get the hankering to play!

I might well be up for it Thursday night too - it'll just be me and the dog at home!

It's good that you've recognized it and are taking steps!

Incidentally, I do wonder if my postcards are properly addressed. I recently checked Korea Post's website for addressing recommendations using their zip code finder since I was updating my mailing list and could not get yours right...

I did get one postcard from you recently - I meant to message you and then I just got caught up with stupid things. I'm sorry! I haven't been sending anything out really lately, since I've been in stress town, but I'm meaning to get back on board.

No worries! I'm glad to know it arrived, especially in light of my encounter with Korea Post's website. You take care of yourself first, okay?

also, my postal code is 540-320. There are actually three or four that will get things to the apartment, but thats the one I've always used and have had no issues.

"my good old friend 'fucked up social perception' where in I don't reach out to anyone or make any plans and then sit around and feel sorry for myself and think everyone dislikes or is disgusted by me."

I pretty much feel like that, oh, 75% of the time. Fun fun.

I have found cognitive therapy to be a useful tool for me with our little friend there. The exercises make me feel like a tool at first - "I am awesome, and people like me!" - but it does make a difference. I read a few different ones but the one I found most approachable was "feeling good" its a yellow book.
