Yep hello and welcome to pure's ultimate blog.
Nah just kidding.
I suppose I should write wtf's been going on in my life since may..
hummm...
I know!
I quit everything to do with helpping me with SA and started to become more independant by myself.
I didn't try to find work.. one step at a time.. then boom I ended up getting swine flu at the end of july..
Oh joys!
I was bed ridden for 2 whhhhoooole weeks. it was the worst ever!
Then...

Yesh I am back.. it's been a while hasn't it?
What have I been up to you ask?
Well I started smoking... now I quit..
I was on meds.. but I had a bad reaction to them >.<;
So I quit them too..
I have been told by my doctor that I have to cut out all food containg wheat and yeast and cut down on my diarty products.. also I am not allowed anything thats high in fat and salts..

Ohh YAY for being me XD

So I will slowly waste away!...

The following is a list of material I put together for my SA group. SA can be overcome but from personal experience, and I've still got a long way to go, it takes a lot of hard work and perseverance. Some days you just don't want to be bothered, and it's okay to give yourself some slack now and again, but you really do need to keep at it. As the saying goes "it's use it or lose it." Combatting SA takes self discipline, dedication and the cultivation of an open mind. But not so open that...

The following was a talk I gave to my SA group. The source material was a tape from the Attacking Anxiety and Depression series from the Midwest Center by Lucinda Bassett, the book "What To Say When You Talk To Yourself" by Dr Shad Helmstetter and my own experiences.
The concept of Unconditional Self Acceptance is an idea from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). Albert Ellis talks about this concept at length in his book "The Myth of Self Esteem".
