Yes, The what IFS, Never seem to fade off.
I ponder on a thought and think and think
My strength in God and pulling out of this mind numbing discord in my mind is slowing down but not fast enough for me.....something or someone usually puts a monkey wrench into the whole works. BUT....its myself I have to blame, I have been successfully struggling with the WHAT IF WAR......I have met the enemy and the enemy is losing!!!! The battles are sometimes small and sometimes big....but the duration is less.

WINNING THE WHAT IF WAR!!!!
Cream cheese...I know how you feel, I've always been a what if person but I've started to get it under control with a lot of self talk. Most of my what if's never happen so I put myself through agony for nothing. This is what I hang on to when I start what ifing, wait and see what happens, it can't be that bad and it usually isn't. I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Jean. T. R

Cream cheese, It's like what the program talks about so what if you do something that's going to hold you back from doing it. It's not going to kill you if you try. You will still be here and it really won't kill you. Believe me I know, I'm getting into some hard chapters in my computer crash course, and I feel like giving up but I made a promise to myself that I was't because I've been doing it for so long.

I have been unemployed now for two years and am going to school after 28 years. Along with two failed marriages I am now struggling with my third, I also have a teenage daughter that is at odds with me all the time and an aging mother now depending on me that has suffered with depression all her life. I have taken medications before but they made my anxious moods worse not to mention all the other side effects. My support system (my mother and husband) is non-existent) so this program was my last hope(so to speak). As you can imagine, my what ifs are endless.

Wait a minute. What if this enemy you have met is YOU? It is, isn't it? I know my most dreaded enemy is ME. So why should you be any different. I'm confused... again <groan!>Originally posted by cream cheese:
