Where's Dr.Bob? Which state do you live in, Dianne?

Thanks Dotsie, for all your loving advice.

Well, I went to my old therapist this past Saturday. He seems to have "kicked into gear" probaby because he learned that I was searching for a cognitive therapist.

Well, good news, I hope! Dr. Spears, the one who follows my med therapy just might have found a cognitive therapist right here in Silver Spring!!! He's not at all sure about the religious therapist I went to because she wants to use
EMDR therapy on me, which is controversial and involves moving the eyes certain direction???

Cognitive will help me restructure my thoughts which trigger my feelings. This sounds much more resonable to me.

So, I've been getting along pretty good because I have this new hope.

I just believe that if I search long enough, that God, or the universe, or my higher power will lead me to the right place, towards the good . . .

I'm kind of going up and down right now, but Dr. Spears says he expected this as he "tweaks" my meds.

Thank all of you for holding on to me. This has been one of the worse depressions I've ever had. I'm kind of used to them coming and going and can usually get out of them with meds, talk therapy, and physical movement, also my scrapbooking.

I'm very interested in the Book Club that I think is forming on this site. Books help me take my mind off of me.

If I can just level off and get to maybe a six on a one to ten scale of depression with 10 being "happy" I'll be able to make a move to join some classe where I can meet some people.

No doubt in my mind that God led me to this site, as the encouragement from all of you has help me up on my worse days.

I'm so grateful for all of your emails.

Love,
Emily
