Thanks for your responses guys. Diva, I have no idea how to hook up, it its technical, count me out ! I can't do it !! And talking out loud, I think thats a great idea, because then you can reaffirm beliefs and stuff, and give yourself a good talking to ! I guess in some ways its inevitable that if you have a bad period in your life, to some degree you're always going to have thoughts about it recurring. I have a friend with Crohns disease, and he says the same, if he has the tiniest tummy ache, he's afraid he's going to have a bad episode, so its kinda similar I guess. Will have a look at the programme again. You did good on the freeway too, well done !! Had a busy day in the garden today, in the sun ( yes we do get the sun in the u.k !! ), and didn't think about it once, so thats positive. Isn't it difficult tho' sometimes to get the balance between activity, ( avoidance ? still not sure about that one ) and doing too much ? Still learning I guess. Diva, did you also have a long period of being well ? Coz you talk about a relapse in December.
