Hi Tyler.

Looks like you have good support system in place. That has made all the difference in my recovery. And getting out in the community to help others is another good move. Also just getting back to doing things that will bring some level of enjoyment helps too. Its helping me to do that.

I've restarted therapy as I was getting in a bit of a slump. In therapy, the counselor and I discussed how important it is to find new ways to get those "feel good neurochemicals" in a healthy way. I noticed it helps to have an interesting project to do. When I discover something new or solve a problem doing these projects, I find myself getting excited and doing a happy dance. Its nice to be able to give my brain a bath in dopamine once in a wile.
