hi Littleman

I am sorry these memories are giving you trouble. Perhaps asking the Dr. to have a look at the medication would be helpful. Are you in therapy? That can give you good coping skills for dealing with this problem. CBT has been adapted for dealing with all conditions.

I use acceptance and commitment therapy. It is based on research, which says that, trying to get rid of symptoms only makes them worse. And accepting them is better. It is saying to yourself. you are experiencing the symptom and then watching it as it goes out of your mind and keeping doing that till the thoughts stop. which they always do, while at the same time getting on with the business of the day. Perhaps this would work for you.. Keeping the mind busy doing especially enjoyable things will take the focus away from problems. I hope and pray this improves for you soon. Take care. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
Thanks for this!
