Over the years, I found that my office job was my worst and my job that involved physical labor was my best (swimming pool service). I guess that the combination of the physical exercise and being around fewer people helped. Exercise has always helped me on those days when I was feeling a little down or depressed. Nowadays, I bicycle almost every day, I'm active around the house, and I have less contact with people. So, if you are fortunate to be able to work, there will be a lot more peace of mind when you reach retirement. :wink:

Actually talking on here is one step better than not getting therapy. Your talking about what you go thru and trying to get better. You may not be at the level you'd like to be. But you are definately one step closer. I firmly believe that things could always be worse. They truly can. Having anxiety and sa is small when you look at those that live in poverty, those that have fatal diseases. Those that have no family.
