Great to hear from you, Reb OL!

1) I return the favor by being your bodyguard (me and Haba),

2) you get paid in supplies - body armor, ammunition, all to help you fight the yetzer hora...

:D :D :D

I was sorta thinking like a military manuever, in your milchemes hayetzer. I don't realy know basketball much, aside from them calling "offsides" every time I do something good.

I figured out how to move your thread, go to the bottom of the page, and underneath the last post (on the bottom left) you'll have the option to 'move thread' (or something like that). And  then select the wall of honor.      hatzlacha

Oh, and I was talking about military maneuvers, as well - you know, point man - the guy who leads the way?

So you think you need to follow a program?  All things you wrote about you are accomplishing if you look at it.  Maybe some outside help of GYE might be needed.  I might suggest that I have tried to create a routine for myself especially at bedtime and wakeup.

Although it is important to get a support system OFFLINE it can be with people you got to know online! There are many advantages to this. they are people who really understand you and really care for you!

Hatzlacha!

Absolutely, IT25 - I agree!

Sci - I think the idea is to have more of a concrete program, something that's more clearly defined.that way I can make sure I'm following it.

Thought about it, briefly - but at this point, I don't think I need it. I could be wrong, but the way I see it, is that if what I'm doing now works, I don't need to take any more drastic steps.

And so far, what I'm doing here works. So, I don't think I need more steps - I just need to figure out how to solidify what I've already gotten.

i'm not sure whether you've done this or not, but i'd suggest thinking about what strategies you use now and see if your using them to their full potential. essentially, dig deep and see if your getting all that you can out of your strategies and yourself.

That is a good point, and you're right - especially as we try to move forward, and stabilize, it's important to constantly check my strategies, and making sure that I'm not getting lazy...

But the question is, as I move forward, so I'm probably going to stop seeing my therapist at some point. And just move on with life, happier and healthier. But I do need a program of some sort to make sure that I stay out of danger, and keep on the path...
