Hey guys...
Well what can I say...you haven't heard a peep outta me for god knows how long. That's why I am taking the time out of this busy day to make a point of writing to you my excuses and updates. And I have some pretty good ones =)
First off I gotta apoligize for not being on here lately...I really feel terrible. But I will try to come here more often...it's the least I can do in return for all that you guys have done for me. But since I haven't been here and posting for a while...I want to know what you guys have been up to. I've talked to some of you on MSN quite frequently (cough cough iz and stephen..) But you guys, your the best, I want to know how you've been! Hows life and emet treating you? Let me know, I'd love to hear about it.
Second, I am proud to say that my emet has greatly improved over the past little while. I no longer feel as though emet rules me, I feel as though I rule emet. Sure, I have anxiety-nausea sometimes, but not nearas often as I used to...and my anxiety has greatly decresed. Of course, that could be because of the prozac, but prozac isn't the only thing that has helped. I have helped myself. And what I want you guys to know is that if I can help myself and make a difference to myself, so can you. You just have to believe that you are stronger, believe that you are better that emet, and get angry at it. Make it feel and make yourself feel like emet can't control you anymore. Most importantly, (and yes I know this is corny) Believe in yourself. Believe that emet is something you can beat, because you are a strong, strong, person. And believe that there is life without emet, and that things WILL look brighter. Believe.
Yet this is a very difficult time of year for me. One year tomorrow will mark the anniversarry of my Daddy's death. It has been a hard go, my boyfriend is moving at the end of next month, my grandmother (who lives with us and whom I am very close to)is going to Halifax for 2 weeks, and my moms birthday is coming up which is a reminder to me that things change. And I hate change. Yet despite all this, I have kept my chin up,and tried to look on the brightside. And you know what? It helps. To think positive.
School is the main thing that has kept me away from this site. I never knew that grade 8 could hold so much work! Already we've had more homework then I thought would be possible to even create in 2 months! But my grades have been kept off and it haspaid off. So its all good.
Well guys now you know what all has beengoing on in your littleSunshine's life ;-) I eagerly look forward to yourreplies to this post onwhat you've been up to and how you've been treating youremet.
Oh and for all you newcomers that haven'tyet heard from me, sunshine, (which is a near impossibilty! ;-D) I'lldo a little introduction. My name is Laura, akaSunshine, I am 13 and havebeen an emet all mylife. I have hadhypnotherapybutthat didn't help so I set off with a goal of conqouringemet myself.
