I'm conflicted re how CBT (cognitive
behavioral therapy) fits in for me long term - I've gotten a lot out of it - I think
I'll see how this month goes, rather than thinking about months ahead.
I also feel conflicted re vision
therapy (VT) - this ISN'T about anxiety... it's about what I want to focus my
energies on... Do I want to do less of it - say, twice a month? If I did that,
would I try something new? Maybe first I'd see how it'd be to do less.
Congregation - there's one social group
with my congregation that might work. Sometimes a special event.
CBG - Chicago botanic Garden - seems
like a good choice - it's an easy ride for me, & I can go to a familiar
garden (it's really multiple gardens in one), or try something different if I
choose to, with Ron, my aunt and uncle, or a friend... I used to often think
"CBG is the only place I can go," but it's a wonderful place to go,
so why not go regularly?
Phone calls - yes, this again - and
I don't have to plan weeks ahead on this, though a bit of planning is good.
Friends, relatives (a cousin, my parents, my aunt, my daughters).
A few special events because of
Ron's involvement in organizations.
What I do at home.
This picture actually looks pretty
good - in fact it looks like plenty for me! Living with my invisible disorders,
but not completely ruled by them.
