@anthony please accept my apologies if any offence has been caused by me in the quote above, I was not meaning to demean you in any way at all, or assume anything of you or justify myself, I honestly meant the words as quoted as a genuine compliment within the thread from myself to yourself. I do apologise as my words were not that carefully thought out and If I have caused offence in any way at all I accept your words totally.

I was not meaning to demean you in any way

Never said you were. You are however using my name as a justification for your actions. I do not follow you round checking on what you do, or do not do, and using my name as though I do so for justification, screams problems on your behalf.

Tried the first day with a carefree walk with the dogs and a gummy fiber treat. My little one started limping so I got to carry Olly home as the larger one puffed along. However, it is a start and I shall continue.:D

I think that the suggested therapeutic approach (relive some of the happy things from childhood) can be a very positive thing. Recently, I've been having cheddar cheese on a specific dry biscuit, just like my mother used to make for me after school. I'm also drinking strawberry-flavoured milk, which was something my parents didn't want me to do at all.

I have a powerful and genuine affection for Laurie, and will follow up on the thread where moderators have advised the 'becoming a therapist' conversation should go.

I can see a few reasons why (if I were Anthony or a moderator) I'd want to stop someone claiming I had endorsed their actions, especially if a lack of action on my part was perceived as an endorsement. Laurie, if you think I can be useful in terms of my journey towards behaving in ways that are acceptable to this site, then I'm happy to talk further - private messages might be a good vehicle.

When I have been having panic attacks lately I have asked Jesus to take away my suffering and He has! I find that a lot easier than grounding techniques. ;)
