Well please pardon my ignorance. I guess my diseases work differently to some extent.
Managing stress....geez cottage cheese......one tough beech to tackle which is not helped out by flippant medical advice.
Smoking a pipe a la Tolkien, or cigars works as a relaxation method for me.
heh i'm not mad at you, I just feel powerless and doctors i've seen all made me feel like I wasn't worth a damn.
i'm getting better, i'm eating well and I run, i'm down to being sick maybe once a week. I'm still very scared of going out though. I'm still on the waiting list to see a psychiatrist to hopefully get medication and help me with that.
Like right now I feel good, been feeling good for the past 4-5 days, i'm positive and i'm getting happier but I always have this sword of Damocles over my head reminding me that if I get sick just one night my brain will go back to the "my efforts are pointless and i'm never going to get better" state of mind
