Hearing some of you guys talk about therapists has really made me feel lucky for finding the one I have. She is so kind and understanding, and she always believes me. In fact, she sometimes has to help me believe myself! I still think that having a good therapist can be invaluable... if you feel one could help you, don't give up searching! There are good ones out there. I think animals are great, too. I believe that my cats are one of the reasons I didn't go *completely* insane (or maybe fall into the BPD black hole and become one myself). And I'm also really interested in yoga. I have a few tapes, but I'd really like to join a class. There aren't any offered near where I live now, but I think there will be lots of opportunities where we're looking to move. I'm becoming much more aware that I need to make caring for myself a top priority, so I'm very excited about that prospect. I'm glad to hear that you are finding the list helpful, and that your migraines seem to be subsiding.
