I agree Amber, though when I was at my worst I couldn't even entertain the thought that I might get sick, thinking about it made me panic and it was awful. Alll I ever wanted was for people to tell me I wouldn't get sick so I could calm down. Now I ask for help in if I do get sick, how can I get through it. I try to offer that advice too when people are panicking. My mother has always been a realist with me, whenever I panic she always says "Well maybe you are sick but you'll be fine anyway"
I would love this place to be come more positive and productive but the problem is everyone is at different stages in their emet. So what works for one doesn't for another.
Be courageous, believe in yourself, and be the best woman you can be. I'm with you all the way.
