Yeah I totally agree. I'm hoping councilling sessions, CBT and journalling will help to reinforce this attitude. And thank you for the jounalling prompts. I've jotted them down and will be trying them over the next few weeks.

Funny you mentioned music, I just started learning and it has been great fun. I agree about finding something to obsess about that makes you happy.

Thank you once again!
