I'm having a couple of problems with this. One is simply time: I need to spend as much as I can on the consciousness book (One week), and I also need to spend some time each day doing something other than writing.
The other goes a bit deeper. I'm very impressed by the Human Givens approach to lifting depression (see various previous posts), but I'm not so sure it's the best way forward for me. This is because I have a fairly well developed habit of regular meditation, which in my mind is tied-in to Buddhist ideas and to my own philosophy. As Eleanor Tyrrell showed in her comment on Day 5, there's no conflict there—or at least none between HG and meditation, and I don't think HG conflicts with Buddhism or my philosophy either—but I feel I need to make the best use I can of the tools I have to hand, and that means improving my meditation practice, and combining that with some basic positive visualisation.
If it wasn't for the time problem, I'd continue this diary, because I certainly hope my recovery will continue! In any case, I'm not going to wipe it, and I might post occasionally in future. I've enjoyed writing it so far, though, and I hope you've gotten something out of reading it. Bye for now.
