i really dont understand???

I was taught to write a diary.
Date, Anxiety Rate, How long it lasted, what happened? Where was I? Who was with me? What was I thinking? How did I cope?

Some times it is nice to read back through it and remind yourself how you coped when things got really bad.

Good luck with the telephone group

We did quite a bit on chatting about the value of a diary at the beginning of the year and quite a few people started one -
I wonder how many people have kept them up.

I try to do an entry each week and if I have any difficult hurdles coming up I do go back to daily entries. It was so helpful to use it as a bench mark to see progress and blips when everyone was fed up of telling me that I was doing better.

You don't record everything that you would in a diary of all your whats ifs and triggers etc. A diary would still be beneficial

Did you get out on your bike today ?

hey Darren,

Please mate-don't beat yourself up about it!! Just sit back, relax and put your feet up and think of all the progress you have made in the last month. A little while ago, your mum didn't even know about your problems! Now that she does, I'm sure she understands you a bit better. Also, you made such an effort to make the trip to the hospital-that was for you and also for your mum.
So you didn't feel up to take your mum to the doctor's...hey, so what? (why didn't the doc come to see her???)but anyway, concentrate on the positive things mate like how much you have achieved, not on what you have failed to do cos after all we all fail to do things but what you achieve is entirely up to YOU!!!
Take care.
