Hi Alex,
I have noted a pattern in myself relating to a relationship that is just beginning. I am interested romantically but also just really like this person and would like to remain friends no matter what. I have found it difficult to think clearly about what is really happening between us and have been using paraliminals to some good benefit - nothing like a new romantic relationship to bring stuff up to the surface!
One issue that I am having some trouble with is the vacillating between hope and hopelessness that I am experiencing. I want to be able to be at ease with whatever is happening and to be clear headed but this vacillating is a bit of a problem

I am wondering which paraliminal to use to help me out - any suggestions greatly appreciated.
