For homework: did you try the timer thing? Homework for 15 minutes, then play time for 15 minutes, etc until the homework gets done. Set goals for each 15 minute spurt, maybe?

I'm looking into those lamps for a couple of people. I can send you the info if you want! Manda and I have heard of some not too expensive versions that are available at quilting stores so I will keep you posted.

Hang in there, chickie!!

Just remember that minor setbacks happen and don't mean you are sinking back into a depression or that you are getting worse or anything! Compare yourself to where you were at your lowest so that you will remind yourself of how far you've come.

You are slowly working your way up, and sometimes it's a "two steps forward, one step back" process!

And yes, ITA about journalling, I have been doing sooo much lately and it is so helpful just to clear your mind and get some perspective. No wonder I'm feeling so positive, I think my entries in just the past week could fill up half of your friends' page. lol ;)
