Great discussion so far. Red I loved your suggestion of starting new thread more and more aknowledgement. I also think self care is very, very important so thank you for mentioning that as well. Regarding moving the posts to this thread unfortunately the system doesn't allow us to do that. We can move threads to different topic areas but we cannot move individual posts.
Keep posting your ideas here on how to improve engagement and recruitment of members!
Glad to see your accepting this, since it's the resistance which snowballs, and makes life miserable. I'm going to buy chocolate too, since I almost forgot it on my list
People are always looking for a magic bullet but what they don't realize is what you did. You are the magic bullet, you are the cure, the program, CBT, Me even is just instruction. None of them can change your thought patterns, you have to.
But of course you have to know how. So it looks like CBT works but in fact it is you working CBT that works. Such a foreign thought from the take a pill attitude where the pill does the work. More attitude conditioning that has just been reconditioned. Congratulations you are one step closer to beating this thing. Keep thinking along with the doing and you WILL be FREE. Thought and thought patterns are the key. Panic is just a lock keeping you on this side of the fence.
I had a pleasant surprise today - I felt really anxious and panicky and just kept telling myself to accept the feelings and go limp and not tense against the sensations - It took a while but the panic has dissipated somewhat. This stuff really works :-)
And sometimes even the next day something will trigger the thought to pop back up. And sometimes out of curiosity we go looking for it. As you get better you will do this to see if it really is gone or if it really was there. You could call these set backs but really they are just part of the process and quite normal. They go away.
