I was really hoping to make it three days in a row of going out, unfortunately this wasn't to be. I woke up after a bad night with a really bad headache, so had to give up on my plans to go to Mumbles to do some photography. I did start beating myself up feeling that I had given in, but as soon ad I realised what I was doing I made an effect to put a stop to it. My therapist gave me a technique to try to stop when I start these mental beatings, I now wear a bracelet which has elastic cord, when I start beating myself up I pull on it and let it go, this slight snap just provides a distraction and helps to disrupt the beating. I have only been doing it for a few days but so far it seems to help.
So once I realised I was beating myself up I tried to stop it by thinking I can try again tomorrow to get out, and also it has been a long time since I went out two days in a row, and not only did I go out but I did walk a little bit on my own in town and go into some shops on my own again this is something I haven't done for a very long time. So I am trying to focus on the positive, its not easy but I'm making a start once again heading in the right direction.
Hi GeekGirl
ReplyDeleteYou very kindly posted a comment about Terry Deary on my blog today:
“He doesn't seem to think about people on low income who can borrow many books from libraries but might only be able to afford one or two books occasionally. There are also many authors that I have discovered while browsing the shelves in my local library that I would never have come across in my local bookshop.”
I tried to publish it via my iPod but ended up deleting it instead. If you’d like to post it again I’ll make sure I publish it this time!
Thanks
Jon
