But I guess it is a start.
I begin on the 20th of this month, but have been using mindfulness as much as I could to get through a really tough 8 weeks of an acute depression with the new feature of generalized anxiety for the first time in my adult life. Second major episode in 3 years...so I have to change something. Yes I'm on meds and (kind of) accepting this will be long term. I'm also now at the point of finding a therapist to do a time limited (well money limited) course of interpersonal therapy.
I'm a classic human doing, rather than being particularly comfortable just being. On top of the tendency to act rather than be, I've ended up with a very uncertain and transitory lifestyle at the moment where I'm not in that much control...so going off the deep end was kind of on the cards.
What I'm figuring is I will probably use this place for accountability for practice during and probably after the course.
