Sick and tired (of being sick and tired)
What are your coping tips for when you’re in the part of the grief cycle where you’re yelling/sobbing “I don’t want to be ill any more!”? How do you get back to feeling positive about playing the cards you have rather than lamenting not having a better hand? This feeling comes around for me once or twice a year. I’m…

Slight anxiety directly after sending an email
I just sent an email this morning and I immediately got an intrusive thought that I had written something obscene, so I had to go to my Sent Mail and check it was OK. This must be some new variation of my OCD trying to creep into my life and disturb me.

Being Your Authentic You
What I think is difficult for many people regardless of disability or not, is to be their authentic selves. I think many of us aren't able to be our authentic selves because of fear and our negativity towards ourselves. We don't treat ourselves with respect and therefore we drag ourselves down and our negative choices…
