Re: Mega signing off for awhile

If you're taking suggestions

this seems to be effective for depression and anxiety, and proven in intervention studies

And if you decide to go the physical activity route, I suggest
Judo

or

Surfing

or

fast partner dancing

Take care, Mega; will miss you, and wishing for your speedy recovery.

From one depressive to another: stabilize first, then dig into your past. Find a really good therapist and park yourself. I've threatened to fire my therapist for the past 15 years.

Second Metalman's link to Alice Miller's book. This and Trauma and Recovery by Judith Herman are the only two books that helped me.

You will be missed; come back soon. I don't post often, but read yours and appreciate all you do here.

Hey Mega,
I'm rather new to iTulip, but I do pay attention enough to know I'm going to miss you.

Be well.

Get well soon Mega, your perspective and your sardonic one-liners will be missed while you are away. All the best.

Dear Mega,
I have always enjoyed your posts. And I couldn't agree more with the quote from thunder... Hang in there.

Cures for depression in winter:

1.) Dig-out a gold coin and place it next to you when you eat your dinner at home;

2.) Walk along the seashore at noon;

3.) Bicycle thru your city and check-out all of the gang-tagging and secret messages on buildings;

4.) Make a pot of spaghetti sauce with red wine and roasted chicken (pollo asado) inside;

5.) Speak Spanish with your banker or bank tellers in California;

6.) Substitute teach in the California public schools;

7.) Light-up an old florescent lamp while standing under your local 36KV power trail at night;

8.) Watch the northern lights at night in high latitude locations;

9.) Go to bed with a sexy chick who promises never to divorce you; keep her barefoot, God-fearing, and pregnant for life.

Steve, this is one of your best posts. Cheers!

I lived in my tent and car for a year and it was one of the best years of my life. It was having an overriding goal and many smaller ones that made the difference.
