I recently hired a fantastic woman who has changed my life.

I had gone to my regular doctor complaining of increasing depression and she gave me a list of therapists and said "you really need a life coach but insurance won't cover that". She gave me medication and the referrals but I think she meant that I needed practical help as well ex finding a job.

I remembered that I had hired someone to complete my daughters college applications and help with essays so I asked her to help with practical matters like writing a resume, making phone calls, clearing my desk etc. I guess you could call it OT? Anyway so far she has helped me decide on a career and comes to the house and makes sure I do whatever I need at that time. Up until now I've relied on my kid but that isn't really fair to her.

Anyway I won't post the name here I guess. I don't know if this an appropriate place to mention all this but if anyone wants the name or has thoughts on this concept please let me know.
