Hi Everyone-Just thought it would be kinda neat for us who have finished the program to share our Growth spurt symptoms. For me my obssessive scary thoughts try to come back and I was always Obsessing about death and health problems or I can go to the What if mode so easy so then it is time to pull out the tape corresponding to my symtoms and then I bounce back. I am going to start a journal of my Growth Spurts so I can refer back when needed. I also have to refer to my expectations tape at times. I am 2 years out of the program, med free so I am proud of how far I have come!!!!! Timber
Hey Timber! Congratulations, I am so happy for you! I am almost a year in "recovery" now and am mostly over my anxiety. I have still had to work with hot flashes and it used to set me back, get me frustrated, and then obsessing angrily over it. I am much more patient and better at dealing with it now. I have though about keeping a journal of patterns that keep popping up in my life of anxiety and depression. It hasn't ben necessary yet though. Anyways, cheers to us and we ARE INDEED on our way! YEAH US!
Thanks josepca for your reply and congratulations to you on one year out of the program!!! I feel the beauty is knowing hey we can change our thoughts at anytime to make ourselves feel better and yes we are on our way to learning more and more about ourselves and ya know once it sank in that it is our thoughts that cause the internal reaction I was like wow I am doing all that to me!! So take care and yeah for us!!!!! Timber
