Re: Relapse! Coping, Symptoms and Tips.
Half an hour! I don't think I could stand talking to anyone for half an hour, anxiety or not. I'm just not that sociable
im going to try and memorise some of those get outs. I know it's running away, which we are told not to do. But we also have to be kind to ourselves. Stay and chat for as long as you can, then excuse yourself. So you've done the chat but left before it got too bad.
we had the cows out last night. They escaped (again) from the field over the lane and went thundering passed our gates onto the road. So then it was a dash onto the road to stop the traffic and try to turn them. I phoned the farmer and told him to bring his dog, then someone phoned the police, queues of traffic, and a herd of cows liberally splattering the road with poop. Then once back up the lane, they got into someones garden and trampled it and ate everything in sight, while dropping even more poop. Fortunately we had the foresight to close our gates. It rapidly turned into a rodeo with Mr. D doing his best John Wayne impersonation. I left the police and the farmer to sort it out and went in to cook tea. But the dog walk was interesting later on, trying to avoid the repainted roads. Never a dull moment.
