Keep talking to us splitimage so you'll have some thoughts and some of us to take with you Wednesday :-)

I use to do that many years ago, would be talking to friends from online groups like PsychCentral and be thinking about them even when grocery shopping. It helped a huge amount to carry them around with me, feel like they were with me and things were a little less frightening/anxiety producing. I could imagine what I'd tell them when I got home, etc.
