    3 good days, purchased a fender guitar and had a dream which reflected my exposure therapy. I also kinda overcame a period of doubt when helping another member on the forum, suffering from a similar condition to me

    I am happy that both my children are doing well at Uni and school and seem happy. a close friend of mine has just found out that her son, who is only 15 is addicted to drugs, what a nightmare!

    Glad to hear about your kids but not about that of your friend, that must be awful for her. But at least she knows now, and I hope she can help him.

    Well guys, since I started writing my reasons to be cheerful

    Feel more relaxed, getting stuff off my chest.
    deeper awareness of an issue that makes more sense, didn't want to face it, but I kept going.faced some awful feelings that were reflected in my dreams but now understand it for what it really is. In my dream I was attacked, but I shred that belief to pieces, I was stronger and less fearful.
    noticed a large reduction in my checking rituals almost to normal level!!!!
    I feel as if I have had a good long over due,emotional clear out, like getting rid of unwanted old clothes that no longer fit me anymore and not fit for anyone else, I dumped them into to rubbish bin!!!!!

    I think I shall treat myself to that cream cake. What an emotional roller coaster!! Glad to come off it!!

    Last nite I did some thinkng and I can honestly say, My reasons to be cheerful, is truly appreciating and respecting that everyone is uniquely different in their own way. I am fascinated by the personalities on these forums, and I remember doing a speak many years ago, where I addressed the audience by simply saying,' It's an honour to celebrate the difference!
