Hi Merci,
Yes I totally agree with you, it might be helpful to do that if you're not really depressed just a bit negative but I've tried that positive affirmation thing (not for long though, I usually give up) and I think telling yourself "I look and feel wonderful" when you feel like crap is a joke, but that's my personal opinion. I know the idea is that if you tell yourself this for long enough you'll edventually believe it, I suppose the question is do you feel the way you feel because of the way you think or do you think the way you do because of the way you feel? I know I've got a lot going for me, I know I've got loads to be grateful for but it doestn't seem to matter sometimes because I don't feel anything much.
How are you feeling now, any better? the last time you wrote you were in the depths of dispair, do you think perhaps the anaesthetic was making you feel like that, what did your Dr think?
Denise
