@chickvonpea TBF, a lot of people do find it effective, although I’m not convinced about its efficacy for fibromyalgia. Have you heard of acceptance therapy? Research shows it works on a different part of the brain so isn’t compromised by stress, etc. I also liked The Way Out by Alan Gordon.

@EllaSloman I’ve tried practicing acceptance. It is very much against my nature but it does help. There’s a great book called Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach which helped me to be a little kinder to myself.

Reading the BRILLIANT ‘When The Dust Settles’ @LucyGoBag and I pick up the book and read the term “wet area”. And I think ooh, she’s talking about swimming pools. She was not talking about swimming pools… https://t.co/ff3zl1oDIy
