Go and volunteer somewhere while you're waiting. Find something that interests you. Do anything that keeps you occupied -- but get OUT of the house! You've got to do something other than just vegetating. And chances are, you won't have ANY symptoms at all, as long as you don't dwell on them. It might take some practice, but just don't think about it.
I wish you the very best. Please take care & keep us posted. Hugs, Lee |
I do have symptoms and they do bother me, but I still want to live my life. My point wasn't really that i was obsessing just I get anxious about losing control and ending up at my worst in which case I usually get suicidal...but it doesn't always happen so I don't really want to feel like I have to avoid living my life over that. But even when I am doing alright I still do have symptoms they just don't overwhelm me quite as much.
But yeah even when I am doing anything but thinking about it, the symptoms still hit me. I guess I need to find a good balance between living my life and making sure I pace myself so I don't get too overwhelmed and unstable. I do get out of the house as much as I can, can't really stand not doing so.
