"Give up the fight" (Angel)

Exactly right - fighting your own nature is a waste of time and energy, and will flood your body with adrenalin, making all your symptoms much worse.

"You do not have to listen to your inner bully ..." (Orchid)

Again, so true. That terrible inner voice saying such cruel and unhelpful things. Would you actually say anything like that to another person, especially if they were suffering? No, of course you wouldn't! So why do you find it acceptable to say it to yourself? (This is what I am telling myself to break myself of the habit of verbally abusing myself).
