Hello there, I hope I can help you at least some with this one. I think that had that comment not been made, you would not be worrying about it. I understand the pattern here, and I have a pretty good idea what kind of thoughts you may be experiencing. I too had this problem in the past. When I first started the program, someone at work made a comment about me needing to go on an antidepressant. I was very offended and began obsessing about it worrying if maybe she was right. This is how I dealt with it and broke the pattern. I just told myself that this was one of those '' practice opportunities '' to try out my new skills, and I told myself that she was entitiled to her opinion, but SO WAS I. And MY opinion was that I don't need an antidepressant. Just like YOU are entitiled to YOUR opinion - that your running schedual is just fine ! Maybe she's just jealous.
