Another good thing that has happened over the past few months was that I got into a program of Canadian Mental Health Association called Bridging Employment Supports. It is designed for people with disabilities, including mental health concerns. I registered not long after going into the day hospital program last February, but sat on a waiting list

Authenticity and novelty here, Van. This was a really interesting post and I feel I would also benefit greatly from this style of counselling. I'm really glad it's been a positive experience for you.

We're so much alike, Toni! Novelty seeking was also high on my list, and it was the first attribute I recognized in myself 30 years ago. That was why I decided suddenly to go into journalism 30 years ago instead of landscape architecture, which would have required another 3 or 4 years of university. I imagine it's a much more important part of my ideal working style, but just as I can't function without authenticity, the need for financial insecurity unfortunately also trumps my other interests.
