My experience with Ashok Gupta’s Chronic Illness recovery program
Call me foolish, but I went out clubbing with a couple of mates last night. Had the best night out I’d had in a long time. Got home about 2:30am and felt so excited I couldn’t get to sleep till about 5am. I think all my emotions are exaggerated with Read more…
I just posted this message on the Chronic Fatigue Treatments Forums, and thought it was too good not to repost here: Jj85 wrote: “I’ve often wondered if there’s any correlation between this disease and not believing in God.” There is a good reason that the irrational belief in God has Read more…
I’m feeling quite excited about the prospect of getting better. Woke up quite early this morning, excited about all the things I want to do when I recover. I could feel my heart racing and the adrenaline pumping as I thought about it all… which really isn’t what I want Read more…

I’ve known about the idea of breaking negative thoughts before, but never felt really motivated to work hard at it. It always seemed like too Read more…
Had a really bad day yesterday. Woke up with a really sore throat and the usual perpetually stuffed head. Felt really anxious too.

I went out to the city last night to see if I could meet some people here in Canberra. My friends are either away or not answering their email! So I want to meet some new people. Went to a couple of pubs and mustered up the courage to approach Read more…
I’ve just watched the Soften & Flow and meditations session. So far so good. I’ve had some pretty late nights lately. Some I’ve been staying up just for the heck of it, others I couldn’t sleep. I felt really restless the other night after deciding to rewrite the sales page Read more…
