[font=trebuchet ms]Try to find some kind of low-impact, preferably outdoor physical activity. I'd recommend cross-country skiing, but Tampa just doesn't get enough snow. It helps to get something going that allows you to 'zone out' in a way that lets your grim attitude fade away. The main thing is to get out of the house!!!

Something one of my doctors (there have been many over the years) explained to me is that even the best medication and therapy can only help to keep you centered - you still have to do the work involved in making those social connections and 'getting a life'.

hmm... advice from the guy with over 3000 posts...[/font] :o
