But it's a complex subject with plenty of variables, that's for sure. <br /><br />'Mindfulness' seems to be the buzz-word treatment for anxiety & depression at the moment. I read a couple of books about it recently and I have to say it makes a lot of sense. I like the pragmatic approach, exercises you can practice, acronyms you can remember - like a toolkit for coping!<br /><br />Jack - Julius has got a lot going on. I got the impression he wouldn't be easy to deal with, though, even when he's sober. I thought Serena was doing a great job in very difficult circumstances. Quite brave, actually.<br /><br />Cass - Mid-twenties, but seemed stuck at teenage.<br /><br />Lynda - It would be an awful thing to have happened, and you can only wonder how it affected the family. He's had a difficult upbringing - the death of his sister being just one facet, I expect.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Thanks for the comments! :)<br /><br /><br /><br />Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-87943463981189509442014-01-20T09:08:22.859+00:002014-01-20T09:08:22.859+00:00Bet he's felt like something's been missin...Bet he's felt like something's been missing his entire life.
