Yoga. I've heard that's a great place to meet chicks. Kidding. Sort of.

I've gotta say......I really appreciate you guys' friendship. Very, very much. I might continue to journal some of my stuff in this thread and if somebody reads it, great. I'd be doing it for me, and if someone else benefits then.....all the better.

I've gotten some good advice and suggestions here. Exercise. I'm fairly lean and fit and healthy, but I do not exercise. Anxiety....that's my exercise. Diet. Rest/sleep. Talking, listening, expressing.

I can't follow the advice of Sniper and others of that ilk. I'm not put together that way. I love you guys, but I'm way too sensitive for your lifestyle.

I'm hard on therapists. I have a BS in Psychology, I come from an entire family of over-analyzers and I'm way too smart and way too manipulative and persuasive for most therapists. The moment I start seeing the canned crap "I hear you saying you feel frustrated........." I feel like my time is being wasted. I don't need sympathy. I need coaching, and that requires talent. I've known a lot of counselors and seen plenty professionally. Sadly, counseling is not a skill. It is a talent.
