Hiya, Just popping in :)

Hiya everyone

I have been catching up on the posts. I do pop in from time to time.

Thank you for the www.emo-free.org site. I'm looking into it.

Recently I have a counsellor. I have been to two psychologists in the past and they told me I was managing ok, (too positive) and I did not need them, there was nothing they could do for me. The counsellor I asked for and now seeing for just 7 weeks said the same at first but I asked her to kept me on and I am amazed at what is hidden inside me that over years I have just past by and got on with life. If counselling does not cure me, Just rambling with words has certainly given me something to think about.

I am still pacing myself and as recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue I have taken to eaten vegetables as my main diet, no frozen or tinned foods, just fresh and seeded bread, I am forcing myself to have just one coffee a day and drinking more water. an effort but I find I am feeling great.

I have recently had to cut down my activities to one or two a week and spend time I would be doing other activities in the garden or reading. I like to be busy but in a way am living a relaxing life. For once the stress in life is far away or gone and this makes me feel pretty well too.

I was laying in bed last night thinking how great it is NOT feeling stressed and for the first time in a long time to feel good. I think keeping stress away and accepting I have to slow down and pace myself is the biggest and best cure for me. I find by doing this I can still do things, but not all at once or all the time.

I pray it will last but the world is full of many stresses so I enjoy the good health while I can. If anyone hits on a complete cure that will last years, Please email me asp.

Be positive, Be caring about yourself and if you don't feel well. REST!! do not give up.

Hey Gilly that sounds like you';re doing well.

Like any changes in life I guess it wil be hard atr fiorst but hopefully worth it.

I started seeing a counsellor too, yesterday morning. My emplyer are paying for the first three sessions and after that it'll have to be negotiated.

Good luck!!

Good luck with the counselling. The first time I went I was all the way thinking. What am I going to talk about when I get there. I realised today. I do not really speak of anything to anyone. I'm usually a listener for other's problems.

Be interesting to know how many people with CD are more listeners than talkers. If a lot then might it be part of the stresses and problem I wonder. hmm

Hmm, intreresting. I'm also a listener, people tend to come to me to talk about stuff and sometimes I offer advice etc too.

I also tend not to talk much to anyone.

Thats one of my problems Im being forced to face in my CBT sessions. I refuse to talk about anything remotely meaningful, if someone starts talking about something I dont like, I either freeze up or say I dont want to talk about it. It is definately one of my problems but I cant change it. Ive also been told Ive subconsciously been acting like my family's counsellor, my mum tells me all her problems, including marital problems with my dad, which I cant really handle but she has nobody else to talk to. So Gilly, I completely agree!
