> > So I had this thing, I was journalling. I was talking about fear, and I started to describe various types. Like the fear where you say no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no quietly over and over to yourself to fill your mind so that theres nothing else but that. Do you think I saw that on T.V. or maybe read it somewhere? Was it maybe me? Damn, I just don't know. Maybe I'm just making it all up so I can know SOMEthing. But I don't even know where it came from? Sorry if I'm being selfish and not posting to others, but I don't feel I have anything to offer thats any good to anybody right now.

> I don't know if you saw it on TV, but I do it too sometimes and I imagine a lot of people do the same thing. However, I don’t find it works very well, because when I do it I can’t seem to push away the thing I’m saying ‘no’ to. It’s a particularly painful kind of fear for me.

Yes. I'm ok.
I always am.
I don't do the no-no-no thing now. I don't let anything get me. I'm all grown up and I'm tough. I will survive.
I THINK Idid it as a kid. I don't know. I think it worked very well. The no's all swirling around your brain block everything. Take you to safe places. Thats what I THINK. I don't know though. I wish I knew why I thought this. Does it matter?
