I was going to reply to you, and just wanted to wait a little bit before doing so to try and gauge accurately how I feel now after a week and a bit. It’s hard to know to start with, as when you carry around something like that every day for 5 years or so, it becomes part of you. So to start off with, I would think the same thoughts because it’s almost built-in. I noticed however that when I did, the reaction to those thoughts was less intense, and so they tend to pass quicker. The result of that is that now I don’t have them as frequently. That’s brilliant as I now feel so much better, but it also shows that given more time they should be even less frequent. What I like now is how any thoughts of anxiety seem to hold less importance.
