My advice - just let it all happen around you. It's sort of like driving a car. We can't control the other drivers so we just do our own thing. Part of it is the medication and part of it is us managing our own recovery. Don't simply rely on the medication. Make it a small part of the recovery and then consider other strategies that will help. As for articulation, think *deep* and don't let the peripheral stuff get in the way. This is the story of Rajjing Incorporated and no one else.

Rock on.
I appreciate the input! Using your metaphor, I know not to control the other cars but I'd like to have some control over my car and that's not happening at all.
