...don't try to change your whole existence in one day. It takes time to "build a good foundation" for recovery. My only suggestion for right now is to do something very enjoyable and practice giving yourself that appreciation. It's easy for self-esteem to be battered around by ourselves and others. That's a good issue to start with: self-esteem. Be the help through books, therapy, talks with a friend...just make the effort. It's not that difficult as you know as you took the initiative to submit this post.


For now, do at least ONE THING everyday to make yourself feel good. WHATEVER IT IS DOESN'T MATTER as long as it's healthy, and fun. -take this from a depressive who has some rather bleak spells of misery. IT AIN'T WORTH IT. I'm buying a new compact disc, today. I do not have much money (on Disability), and rarely go out. So, that's my fun for now. Also, I love to go for early morning walks. Everything is tranquil at that time of the day. And, it's easier to get "quality alone time."


Hey, do not worry about the sex thing. When you feel better it will happen naturally, again. -right now, take care of yourself and make your life less stressful.


I hope you can be good to yourself and allow that fun. It doesn't have to cost anything or reek havoc on your health or personal relationships. Find some solitude, have a blast with something you like to do, and make friends with yourself. I've rarely been afraid to get to know certain aspects of the self as you gain wisdom (not just knowledge) and this is where serious change can begin.


Take what you can out of this message and this web resource. And, have a good time at least once a day.


That's all for now and I hope you'll be good to yourself.


With a spiritual love, Bob
