Firstly, what is 5-htp?

Secondly, two things I've found useful from this course I'm on to help me get back to work is:

a) choose 1 small achievable goal a day or a week so that you can feel good about that. I'm currently on the goal a week because some days it's enough to get dressed.

b) if something prevents you from getting something done, you don't say I didn't do ... and feel negative; you say I was prevented from doing [insert whatever] by [insert the reason]. Does that make sense? It works actually because it moves the blame from you & stops you feeling like a failure.

I cheer myself up by:

*playing classical music really loud - full on Tchaikovsky, fucking fantastic

*re-read a fic or a fav' segment of a fic where part of the joy is the witty use of language. Particular favourites are most things by

mirasfics,

fearlessdiva,

amanuensis1 and

lovely_slyth. Infact if I'm really down I re-read all of the Mutual Interest universe by

lovely_slyth. If you haven't read them, you'll find all the links in my memories under Romance.

*go for a walk in the countryside

*retail therapy

*theatre
