Hi Dr. Gemma,
Big fan here...love your podcast. Where were you when my daughter was diagnosed? (Bipolar) Could have used your strategies instead of going into the numb comatose state of shock that I went into! LOL Anyway, I am enjoying those strategies now. Didn't realize just how many I had already been putting into use since learning the hard way how to cope with the tough stuff of life. Like "thought stopping" "baby steps""distaction" "breathing". I have a list of your strategies in a memo on my Blackberry now, so I can refer to the list for ideas if I need them! Thanks so much for your fun banter. Helps me realize how often I tend to take myself way too seriously and need to just have fun and calm down! :)
