Mostly I am okay..sometimes I feel mildly blue..

I am not really on any meds except Mary Jane..

I am pretty stubborn about external interference in my mental beeswax so I like to manage it myself ..

But I practice some light self therapy. I like the notion of Rogerian therapy:

I like reading papers on cognitive psychology or neuroscience or even ai from pubmed.

It gives me perspective on what might be going on inside the old noggin, but without any tiresome pop psychology.

It is pleasant and non-invasive practiced as a self care regimen sans unwanted and officious external meddling.
