Don't let it suck you in...

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

Reply #6 - Jan 30^th, 2009 at 2:15pm 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. Sanna
