I agree with Venus.

I found that believing in myself that I was not helpless has helped a lot. I don't see my illness as 'debilitating' because I'm living as best as I can within my restraints. I don't worry about what is "normal" because there is no "normal". I go through the motions of the emotions I'm feeling and I feel invigorated because I have the capability to feel.

(There are things like diet, exercise that can help reduce symptoms but you have to be consistent.)
