This wonderful place has really helped in so many ways.....
I live in a small community, so my pain issues and other battles really made me isolate myself.......

Once i found this place and felt comfortable with posting, it's truly been a lifesaver..... I was so amazed at how many people have so many issues that are so hard to face. We want to be the best we can be....for our families and friends.....but sometimes it just seems impossible to get anyone to really understand. Either that, or we just don't want our loved ones seeing us in such a weak, vulnerable state of mind.

I'm hoping you'll get more people to jump on your thread here and have some good input to offer.......
We need to have a 'battle plan' ready and on hand for when the attacks come. That way, we won't feel caught off-guard and perhaps we can face them with less anxiety.

Soooo....the question is..... what would be some good 'battle plan' strategies?

......we CAN figure this thing out! yes?
