My biggest attack from the beast occurred when I was at my lowest point in days. Physically exhausted, emotionally drained, in a fight with my partner. I was so down and angry and it saw the opportunity. I forced myself to post on the May thread and to respond to some people. That gave me some immediate strength. I went for a jog and by the time I returned, no more beast. Has not bothered me since...but I am much more wary.
I know we will all have a traumatic day once in a while that makes us say screw this...What kind of plan do you have for this? Not for the beast, but for you? When You are so upset that you decide you just don't care about yourself right then? It is at this point the beast can make its move.
