Whoa! Easy! I know, it hurts, but see if you can relax into it, let it go by, let it flow. If you fight it, it's only going to hang around longer.

It's all so connected -- you just happen to be in the worst place to see that, while it's coming down on top of you. The view is much, much better from just a little way away -- and as soon as you learn to step outside yourself for a moment, you'll get to appreciate it too.

I know!!!! I'm so excited!! I was dancing around my flat, singing my head off like a goof

Sannah, yes my anxiety levels have been incredibly high...
Scenario 1: Good stuff triggers you. Ouch! You get anxious. You purge. You beat yourself up for purging, call yourself a failure. Eventually you feel better.

Scenario 2: Good stuff triggers you. Ouch! You notice yourself getting anxious. You say to yourself, "I do believe I've been triggered..." You sit tight and let it flow on by. Eventually you feel better, with nothing to call yourself a failure for. (Is that better or worse? Your call, and you're not stuck with it. You can keep trying it both ways and seeing which suits you better each time.)

But above all, thanks for continuing to share what's going on for you!
