Knowing that, I find myself being continually surprised at how easy it is to slip into these habits. I imagine they spring from some kind of instinctive self-preservation mode. ============== Well, my A discovery is barely wks old so I get lost of those awful thoughts assaulting me. I try to go back to the basics, to put a STOP sign in my mind. From "not just friends" I got that we go through is almost (and sometimes it is) like PTSD. Some thoughts really carry us over the edge, and it said that sometimes we need to ride the waves and think "yes, this was painful, but this thought will pass" and let it run it's course without destroying us.
Hugs babes, hope you are doing better)))))
