You'll be okay! I recommend Louise Hay's affirmations and positive self-talk. I have a hunch that it might help you, because it helped me when I was recovering. ((HUGS)) Happy Holidays!

I should mention mine was because of being on a high dose of steroids, so mine might have been different from yours. But nevertheless, I believe you can and will bounce back to a happier, more stable state of mind.
