I know what you mean when you say you'll miss the bookstore, I've had a few jobs in the past that I miss despite the crazy- the pet store being one of them. Good luck in your new job, Anna!

It's a very versatile recipe, I made some substitutions based on what I had on hand (mung beans instead of black beans, and ground pork) and topped it with avocado (on sale because of the Super Bowl) and a fried egg. Yum! Oh, I also just simmered on the stove because I don't have a Dutch oven (yet). I made this last night, and it was delicious!

Yeah, the counseling was definitely tailored and it very much has to be; it mostly pertained to putting some old demons to rest that I had never truly addressed. I really appreciate this dialogue, it's actually given me a lot to think about. Makes total sense to me, that’s why I (tried) to present that last bit as just ‘This worked for me’.

Yours wasn't like that, but it still made me *twitch* a little). Counseling is weird because if it's done right, it's tailored to the individual, so while big concepts transfer well and can be very helpful to hear (like one day at a time, accomplish one thing - which I'm really working on), the rest of it has to take into account the individual situation and doesn't always scan well as big picture advice.

Just wanted to put up my thoughts on the stuff that I actually know anything about. I've been to counseling but I wouldn't say I have a whole lot of helpful advice for dealing with mental illnesses of any kind. My own troubles are/were fairly mild by any comparison. I should really not toss out unsolicited advice... it's a bad habit of mine and I wind up looking fairly ignorant or just full of myself (sometimes both!). I found the "one day at a time, accomplish one thing." approach helped me, when I've been run down. Sorry, wasn’t trying to just hone in on things that weren’t the primary focus of the post.

Sadly, swimming ends up taking 2 hours to do, so I don't do it. I can barely get myself together to do a 20 minute workout, let alone drive 15 minutes to the pool, change, swim, change, drive home, and shower. My doctor and I are also quite aware of the kinds of exercise I can do, and the benefits of each. This is, however, kind of beside the point of the post, which really isn't about exercise. While it's a good idea to compare to what you've done previously, and always strive to improve, with a massive joint disorder, "improve" is a very relative term (there are days when I can barely do my hair, other days when I can work a stapler with no pain, for example). I literally can't "benchmark against what I've done in the past". In the past I was an athlete. Right now I physically can't be that, and it's a mind trip and a half for someone with all the mental illness I fight. SemiCasual » I love to swim, and am quite good at it.
