If you do, then it wins.

It is easy to get caught up in the fear and anxiety of the next one coming.  Remember that the pain will eventually end.  It may seem like forever, but it WILL end.  Live your life inbetween the hits.  There IS good in life if you go outside of yourself and your own little world to see it.  And last but not least, when you see others with a charmed life living their lives pain free, don't wonder "why not them?".  It does nothing for you and only serves to feed that self depreciating monster.

You will make it through.  You are one of the strongest people who have been given an affliction so many would not be able to deal with.

hugs & love,
melissa

That was me before I learned how to manage them better. I was constantly in fear of the next big hit.

Good advice.

:'(, The sense of isolation is huge on occastions, there is strength in that realisation.

Before oxygen I lived in fear of the beast. Keep your quiver full of arrows, whatever your magic arrow is!

Not really Joe, just trying to take my own advice, LOL!!

I figured some self help therapy might help others too, so I posted it. :)

Great reminder, Mel! :)

This time around - so far at least - I've been able to remember that. Let's hope it stays that way, too. but I do think that the 800mg guarana tablets I'm taking twice a day have made a difference for the better. :)

You go Girl!  Dictum Factum!
