The Cure

The cure for anxiety and depression in Thailand would be a good massage, I must say.  I think long walks that break a good sweat would be worthwhile there.  Some regular intellectual conversations with a trusted fellow expat could also stave off a loneliness spell.  

People who really go "off the wagon" are those who drink early and drink alone.  

I also am a strong proponent of talk therapy with a caring professional. Great friendships could perhaps negate the need for a therapist. I read once that "therapy is paying to talk to a friend."

I do appreciate your friendship, and just staying connected. Lots of what we discuss (overseas living and experiences) would not be understood by everyone.
