> Allison, I have had the exact same problem with embarassing thoughts for as long as I can remember. What has helped me deal with them is an experience I have had a couple times where I found out that a couple of my most intensly embarassing moments had been completely forgotten about by everyone except me! So, now when I am overcome by a specific embarassing memory, I take the sting out of it by saying to myself, "It's over and done with and I bet that no one else involved has any memory of it what-so-ever!!". After all, if I'm the only one who remembers something, what is there to be embarassed about, really? Hope this helps! CarolAnn
I'll try it. It just amazes me that after 20 plus years I can be embarassed by episodes. I thoought it was part of the depression beating me up still.
