I have personally found counseling helpful at certain points in my life but I believe everyone is different and what works for everyone is unique to that person. Generally I try to avoid giving advice, unless asked for it, because I believe it's important for each of us to find our own way. For myself I have gained greater confidence and joy from figuring out for myself what works for me. (Not that I don't sometimes need or ask for suggestions or help!)
Being poor sucks. Well, obviously, but yes, having fewer choices for self care isn't fun. And as much as I love to stay in and have alone time, I like to have the choice to go out, too. I imagine I'd get moody after a while if I were too broke to go out. Wait, what am I thinking?! I have been that broke. hmmm... I don't remember being moody necessarily but I was more depressed or depressed more often. Or something. But then again at that point in my life I had a lot of growing to do.
Well now that I've babbled on about myself er.... um... hello and I hope you are enjoying your day.
