Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I've been on this group for a while but haven't really participated for a long time. I was just reading some posts because I've had an emotional setback and I'm trying to get myself straight again. For the past two years I've done really well not reacting to my mother's comments which has allowed us to get along for the longest time I can remember. Then came the holidays and it's aftermath .. the result .. an email from my mom that just set me back. I won't bore you with the details. I noticed some of the responses suggest ignoring the written comments as they are bait (that fits). But I'm just having such a hard time keeping the esteem-shattering thoughts out of my brain. I know it's not me. I know it's the illness. I know I'm not the evil-no-good person she makes me out to be. I just need to get the thoughts out. I know it's a broad question, but how do you all cope with these setbacks? Avesey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
