Kind18 - your way with words was definitely helpful & I'm pleased I got the tone right on this occasion. Being at the start of this, I can fluctuate but Im trying to notice patterns of what is helpful & unhelpful in what I'm doing. This is less about what works and doesn't with H but more so about what works and doesn't for me. Example is that I'm aware that when my mind drifts off to imagining H, OW & their future, I can become paralysed with fear & end up only upsetting myself. Its not easy to bring it back but I'm finding different ways that are graded to the pervasiveness of my thinking. These include using the forum and my support team alongside exercise & pampering! I'm getting there but it's slow and as I've said before, this forum is invaluable (harsh reality checks included). A bit if humour always helps too so I appreciate that in your posts.
