Welcome laur88; I can totally relate. At times this illness can send our perspective out into orbit. The small things become HUGE, the HUGE things become unmanageable. Getting the med combo right definitely helps with that. Positive self talk i.e. I'm going to do well in this auditions etc. Relaxation exercises i.e. yoga, stretching, exercise of any sort. Therapy has also helped me keep things in perspective. Eating regularly is very important, so I know sometimes when one is anxious they don't want to eat, but that just makes it worse.

I hope you find this site supportive
