Title: It's that time of year again...
Post by MaxPayne on Dec 17^th, 2007, 6:59am

Well it's that time of year again, wonder how it's going to be this time..

Last year cycle started during christmas, but then it had been one and half year since the last time. I am wondering if the remissions are starting to widen in timelapses. Anybody else experienced it like that; that the beast takes longer in coming to town? Anyway last year he came down the chimney second day of christmas bearing pain and misery, hope the bastard stays out this year ho ho ho;-)

Merry christmas to y'all!

Max

Max, it's one of the curses of the human brain that we have the ability to ask, "why?", "when?", "what if?", etc.--but if we engage in trying to answer such questions we drive ourselves crazy.

Trying to predict an unpredictable future gains nothing except distress. A simple technique when you find yourself in this state of mind: Just shout "STOP!"--out loud if you are alone; in your head if you are in public. Doing this regularly will increase your capacity to not get trapped.

Max,

Listen to Bob.... If it's gonna happen it will, then you deal with it -- If not - then don't stress over it... Enjoy the time you're PF.

I recently finished my longest remission, 2 years, followed by my longest cycle, 8 months, now I'm back in remission and have apparently skipped my fall cycle..(Oh Yay!)

So yeah, trying to predict these things will just give you a bodacious tummy ache! Enjoy your pain free times and always have the medicine chest packed just incase.

Max,
I hope this cycle will be a short one and the remission following it will be a long one!

PF wishes,
Sanna
