I tried Bach's Rescue Remedy the last time I got on a 'plane about twelve years ago and it alleviated the anxiety. Whether it was all in the mind or not, I don't know, and don't need to.<BR/>Hope you are having a musically stimulating time in London with some relaxation on the side.<BR/>(And, hello, lovely Finlander!)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00112821049194722614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-41169780073540570772008-03-29T13:04:00.000+00:002008-03-29T13:04:00.000+00:00Signs, sweetness, you won't mind if I say hei Nico...<B>Signs</B>, sweetness, you won't mind if I say hei <B>Nicola</B>, that's a real heart-warmer of a thing to say. Please note that even in the depths of post-absence, many threads are still (slowly but surely) active. I see you nipping in regularly and am always delighted about it. Don't hesitate to pick and choose a nook or cranny to say hei whenever the mood might grab you. <BR/><BR/>(And I agree so much with what you say about Signs' post.

I don't have it, though I reaslise that the post may have given that impression. I get anxious and over-sensitive but that's something else - and the issues I have around travel are not the same as the ones you describe - my sister had those and it was very hard for her, but she recovered.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments - the urge to reinvent still strikes but for the present I remain yours faithfully, <BR/>RTSReading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-30822596884531262682008-03-28T11:26:00.000+00:002008-03-28T11:26:00.000+00:00How do you do this, Signs, - say what I need to be...How do you do this, Signs, - say what I need to before I can utter the words? I want to shout (in a whisper, you understand) - yes, yes, this is exactly how it is.<BR/>Do you think the rhythm of ME is similar in some ways to the rhythm (or lack of) of depression? I imagine, but don't know, that depression could be a part of ME.<BR/>I have avoided the Underground for more than twenty years after a first panic attack on an underground going overground. And now, from where I live in the southwest, you can no longer pull the windows down to stick your head out and wave goodbye or breathe. So I drive now or go no further than I can walk and, yes, shell-less-ness is a condition I am coming to know well - it leaves the nerves horribly exposed.<BR/>(So glad you and Anna are still about - I had been worried about your talk of re-invention and Anna's of submergence).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00112821049194722614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-12418843161736120332008-03-27T23:44:00.000+00:002008-03-27T23:44:00.000+00:00Thanks, Trousers, I suppose it comes down to prior...Thanks, <B>Trousers</B>, I suppose it comes down to prioritising the life of the soul - your recent gig (from what I read over at yours) sounds wonderful.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-34186102039107692352008-03-27T20:58:00.000+00:002008-03-27T20:58:00.000+00:00"I heroically manage to turn up for poetry worksho..."I heroically manage to turn up for poetry workshops and meet with significant others, for the world would be poor without such things – she has told me this in confidence and I believe her."<BR/><BR/>Hit the nail on the head there, signs.
