Then you've made great and huge strives from 3 days ago.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE: You need to realize though, that it was YOU who did it. NO one else did and no one else can. Don't say "I'm going to try and remain positive" Tell yourself: "NO MATTER WHAT, I WILL be positive... I refuse to give the negative any POWER." My success is largely and loosely based on determination, refusal to fail...and replacing ANY negative thoughts with positive... "What if" became :"I can...I will".......NO MATTER WHAT... If you ever saw the Karate Kid..remember when The old guy was telling Daniel.. Karate...YES....Karate....NO Karate....maybe.....???? That was portrayed as disasterous... it has to be one or the other.... Either you are determined or you aren't....teetering in the middle is endless.....and Gawd...it's one step forward and then two steps back.... You want to aim for 3 steps forward...no steps back.... ... :)

Good for you. Use that to build from...Try adding to it each day.... At the end of the day review your successes. And consider.... Is it harder to live your current life the way you live it....or harder to be determined to eliminate it? Is ANYTHING WORTHWHILE EASY???

Why feel guilty? I think being anxious about your wife is normal. I think your avoidance of school will need to be resolved. I'm not a doctor or counsellor. I sort of explained what has worked for me. The first part of what I have done, is to have the kind of determination that did not allow failure as an option. Until you reach that same determination, it's difficult to succeed... It's almost like you have GOT to replace the negative with positive EVEN when you think you might not be able to. You have to WANT to, EVEN when you don't want to...does that make sense? You have to learn to change the channel in your head. Again CHANGE OCCURS WHEN THE FEAR OF STAYING THE SAME IS GREATER THAN THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO MAKE. Until you reach that conclusion, you may be stuck. I'm not sure you're there yet, but that doesn't mean that someday you won't be. :)

Kitcat I finally got the nerve to call my school and tell them I was not going to be their. Presently I am on emergency leave from my school. I feel a little guilty for that reason. My counselor said I need to get back but I am anxious about my wife and my class at the same time. My wifes surgeon said this was perfectly normal He has seen families split up because of cancer.What is your take on my anxiety. I hope I am not bothering everbody with my constant questions/?
