Wow. Well. I, um, talked to my grandfather. Things are a little better now. At least they're not depressing and full of anxiety, like they were before. *phew* Now I just have to deal with my guilt.

It was kind of amazing, though. I mean the way I responded. He started yelling at me, as I thought he would, and I just stayed calm (outwardly). My heart was pounding and I got all the physical distress I usually do, but I just stayed calm and talked more slowly so I could think through what I was saying, and speak clearly. And I chose not to respond to things that were meant to rile me up. I think it worked VERY well, and ended up dissolving into a sane conversation. Feeling pretty good about that.

Glad this happened. NEVER goes as bad as in our heads. =) Good for you! The guilt I hope will pass, nothing to feel guilty about I dont think.

I just double checked, and it looks like you followed that article step by step. It worked? Cool! ::p:

Glad it worked out well for you Beatrice. Too bad i cant have a conversation like that with my grandfather. Well i could, but it is pointless - he probably wouldnt remember the next day. :rolleyes:

I dare not speak for anyone, but Beatrice I think thought a little bit at least the same way... never know until you try. Rarely is any outcome ideal, but also rarely the worst case either. If it was pointless to start, you have nothing to lose by trying anyways... (however, atm take what I say with a grain of salt I can't even do what I ****ing preach right now so... shouldn't even post such things just come off condescending and I hate that, so sorry if i am =/

Happy i am nearly 3weeks off strong drugs.

Sad i may have to stop drinking.

Upset that i feel like i am only getting worse and not better...even tho i have put so much effort in helping myself.

Worried about going back to college.

Fustrated i am so paronoid of peoples motives.

Annoyed with myself that i am where i am.

Curious to wether i will ever improve.

Is this my life forever?

good for you beatrice! it takes a strong person to remain cool and collective in those types of situations. even more so for someone with SA -- the fight or flight response is like 10-fold that of a normal response. very impressive.
