Thursday

Dear God I was up in the night with horrific period pain! Felt awful, was
trembling as I rummaged through the house for painkillers at 4 am.

So I surprised myself when I woke at 7.30 ready to face the school run.

It was less scary that yesterday - 6/10 rather than 8/10. But that was on 6
mg rather that 10. So big improvement.

I do wonder why one week the school run is a breeze and the next it's hell.
This is a hell week. PMT? Period? Who knows?

But I used the "So what" tactic to stop the panic spiralling over breakfast
and I really did feel To Hell With It. SO WHAT if I panic, so what if I
throw up, so what if I have an uncontrollable urge to use the bathroom -
there are worse things in life. All I have to do is concentrate on driving
carefully so I get myself and my son to school safely. The rest is
irrelevant.

So remember - replace every "What if?" thought with "So what?"
