Just putting in my two cents...
Beating the beast comes one moment at a time. It's a conscious decision that one makes to not let the beast stop you.
When you won't participate in life, it's winning. When you go about your life and he appears, you deal with him as best you can. You don't go provoke the beast -- Like drinking alcohol when you're susceptable, that would be silly.
In the worst of the worst attack, you might scream, pace, and want to explode, but also pray and know it will be over when it runs its course.
Know your enemy, that's key. Know your tools to fight the beast. Do your best to know where they [tools] are. At one time, I tried to figure where the closest place of retreat would be, a quiet place where I could wrestle with the beast when he attacked, while I was out and living life.
View the enemy/beast as evil, and you are good. The good is destined to overcome the evil -- read The Book of Revelation for inspiration! And when you begin to feel sorry for yourself, read The Book of Job.
Wishing you victory over the beast, one moment at a time.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

If the beast always has us at arm's length, then our weapons (tools) should be too.

I agree with everthing except the last part. I read the bible a few times. Once I read one of those really small ones in the Brig. For me, the fight between good and evil is a personal one. I talk to God. Don't know if there's anyone listening but I guess for me, I think I'm really talking to me heart and soul. I totally respect faith and those who follow whatever faith the have, my faith is my soul, a human soul, who has to make decisions on how I live my life regardless of a book.
But, what the fuck do I know!

It's a good post Ray.
The Bible can be helpful...and has been...so long as you don't just pick out only the parts you agree with.....like all my Unitarian friends. They know how to have fun with it and like to read ahead to be sure they are happy with the text.

Hello Everyone:
First of all, I feel really welcomed and appreciated. That is so nice.
Like many here, I've been through the ringer more times than I can count and I've listed what works for me and I hope by sharing, it may be helpful to others.
I'm not here to preach and don't wish to be offensive to anyone. The term "the beast" does have certain connotations...
On the other hand, if you WANT to converse on a biblical level, feel free to contact me privately.
Looking forward to developing friendships here,
Ray

Funny. I never connoted our beast with the biblical beast.
Well....hopefully we'll get his "number" soon. He's probably an alien....He's days are "numbered" too when we find the prick. More likely we'll turn him over to Jonny for a few weeks and then shoot him into space.
