I was gifted with this workbook last month:
I’ve been finding it helpful for coping with work-related anxiety. Easy and straightfoward to use. Figured I would pass along the recommend to others. Hope you are all well.

Nice to hear from you @pixel. I’ve been having a flare up of anxiety issues recently so this book may come in handy.

Nope still a unicorn. You?
@shutterbug, you tease!
Not teasing, just busy with life.
Now in my 15th month as a commercial insurance specialist. Passed my Level 2. Currently working on CAIB certification. Exemplary annual review. 3% raise. The account executive I work under said he’s never seen anyone learn the ropes as fast as I have or do the volume of work I do.
Still running the community radio project, although we’re divorcing from the school division. Politics. Unfortunate, but I’m proud that I tried to make a positive change where I saw a change needed rather than just complaining and waiting for someone else to fix things. Community side is still going strong. Currently producing two shows on my own and supporting other volunteers.
Big focuses in my life right now are health challenges (having some respiratory issues that we’re trying to nail down), finding time for photography, and pushing myself on the piano. I’ve helped organize a “Piano in the Park” event this coming July and I’m one of the performers. Playing three pieces by Ludovico Einaudi. Spending about an hour a night practicing on my keyboard so I won’t look like a damn putz in front of 600 people.
Princess Pixel has mostly recovered from the head injury last fall. Some short-term memory problems, but she’s working around them. Doing well in school and kicking arse in 4-H public speaking. Mrs. Pixel remains both wonderful and indomitable as usual. Pixel kitty is trying to learn to cope with the new Roomba. We’ve had no luck convincing her to ride around on it wearing a shark costume.
Still dealing with voices and weird thoughts. Don’t remember if I mentioned I moved back from Rexulti to Geodon. Yeah, it’s more or less working. Been having trouble at work since they swapped me into another office. New one is too bright, too loud, and … I hate it. The guy who was in there had to be moved closer to a manager because he has the work ethic of a pet rock and needs supervision. Don’t understand why they just don’t fire his arse. Twat. Had to up my meds because of this.
Trying to use CBT coping techniques every day. Haven’t put an arrow into a co-worker yet so I think they’re helping. 
Gave up on the idea of a high-functioning community. Too few of us. Doctors tell me I’m a unicorn, just resigning myself to the fact and finding other places to socialize (archery, amateur broadcasting, photography, Chevy Impala owners, etc.). Will be in and out occasionally.
That’s the last few months in a nutshell. Hope everyone is well.
Pix.

Thats what i told u…!!! They are really less in number… szphrenic mostly are low functiong like me…?? What do u think …???
Nice choice, anxiety rather than depression. Seems there is too much focus on depression, not enough on nail-biting anxiety. And CBT is the way to go. Thanks for the recommendation.
Pix needs pics.
HFs are very rare. Unicorns.
A lot less side-effects, that’s for certain.

Nice to hear from u pixel…!!!
Good to see you here, pixel. 
Hey @shutterbug!
I went off of the grid there for a while. When I’m not getting suspended from this forum, you’ll find me pitching my musical works all over the internet.
Glad you and the family are doing well!
Pat
