Hi again:

I hope I have this right (sure wish I knew how to add a proper link here).

If you post a message on the following board, the people there will help you get the information you need.   Best not to start reading stories and getting all worked up about what "could" happen as you are doing just fine so far.  I'm putting this here so that you can get the info you need.

Hope it works.

Try not to worry too much.  Wasted energy.  Work out a plan and then, forget about it, and get on with your life (and the dog works real good-let me tell ya).

Somebody:
Wellllllllllllllll............doggie!! Look at that!

I'lll..............be.

Now I've learned something useful today!!

Best of luck to you girl.

I have a rule of thumb I follow which was told to me years ago by a very wise person:

I do not make decisions based on fear.

Period.

Discounted Girl:
Somebody, I think your last few posts were in reply to the Guest who posted after me. Hopefully, he/she will come back and read them. I live in Texas, Alaska is too cold  8)

Somebody:
My mistake, what else is new?

But they have such cute white polar bears in Alaska!

Yep, I knew a girl once who moved up here from Texas, and I asked her if she liked it here, (Southern, Ontario), and she "Yessiree" and I asked her, well then, what do you like best about it?

And her answer:

"Aaa luvv kaaazers 'n redd rose tea that ya'll haaav up heeer!!"

Apparently, there weren't any good bakeries in Texax, at that time, and the tea sucked!

Hope the situation has improved.

Have a great evening and yes,

Guest...hope this stuff helps a bit!!

Somebody:
So, D, so as not to discount what you said, you have a fear that you will experience a "flash back" of some horror that you went through, that you have buried deep in your psyche. It may sound silly, but you do have a real fear that you will suddenly remember something too horrible to describe.


No, it's not a bit silly.
But it is a bit of a waste of time.

(Hey, I copied and pasted that and changed the "I"'s to "you"s...cool).

Ok, so.  You have a fear, right?  Is it a real thing that happened or something factual?  So far, just a worry right?

Why don't you try worrying about winning millions of dollars and what the heck you're going to do with all of that money when you get your paws on it??

I'm not being silly, worry about some good stuff.  Why not??

Why waste good energy worrying about stuff that "may be buried" someplace?

Replace it with stuff that feels a whole lot better.

Who cares what's in there?  There's probably stuff in there that was just as good-- as this bad idea is bad, right?  Look for that stuff and quit focussing on all the crap.

Why do I say such a thing?  It works.

There's no need to drill deep down into our unconscious mind and retrieve each and every bit of rotten information that may be buried there.

Just as there is no need to go to the grave yard and dig up bones.

What the heck for?

If you get a horrible flash back some day, tell yourself that it's water under the bridge and you're not going to focus on it or waste energy with it.  You have better things to do with your brain cells. If it doesn't go away, well then you may have to try some other tactic.

Until that time, feed your brain the good stuff.

This is indeed for you,
