Hi Poppet,

Troubles have a way of all coming at once. I'm sorry that it's hard for you at the moment.

I used to think a lot about the 'accept it' - 'fight it' thing. Nowadays I take a different view, maybe informed by my Buddhism. I take a neutral view of what is happening, I don't try to fight or accept, I just try to go about my daily business and do whatever I had planned to do.

When the anxiety, or depressive thoughts pop up, I just try to move through them, without being sidetracked into some thinking that I don't want or need.

Of course a really big attack could knock me down again, and I would try to move through that as well, just getting on with my business.

My daughter calls it, "doing it packhorse style."

Cheers, Myzen
