You say that writing down your thoughts give them more power, then why does everyone say to keep a journal of how you are feeling, whether it is physical or emotional? Is this in turn just making me sicker than I already am. Just keeping track of how I feel on a daily basis gives that thought more power, then I am truly in deep doodoo..Both of my doctors want a daily record. How do I overcome this then? You have raised alot of questions in my mind here and I am unsure of how to even think let alone feel...... Please help me to clarify this in my head... Linda
