I wish I could tell you what to do but I personally have no idea what helps.spondi had a good suggestion- getting distracted. It's really hard to do that tho depending on how bad the episode is. Lately I have been trying to talk more about it- with my husband and it seems to help. Again, if the episode is real bad it's hard to believe what people say. Are you on an anti-psychotic? If so make sure you take them everyday like your supposed to and that should help a bit. If not talk to the doc- you have every right to be involved I. Your own care.
