hi free1... try using positive affirmations and 'healed you' visuals when you have the up energy in your favor? its worked for me...

positive affirmation : I am feeling better.

visual: an image of yourself has a healed, whole person. fill in as many details as you can. hair, eye color... weather, place.. clothing.. surroundings... view it often and put your hopes into the experience... when your low, it may lift you up...

tell yourself often (and beleive it) that you are a valuable person, that you make a difference.... cause, its true...

This is wonderful advice and I've often found similar techniques helpful. Certain colors can be beneficial in what they call "chromatherapy" - whether they are actual colors you are looking at or visualized. For example, envisioning yourself totally enclosed in a gold, glowing light can help you feel healthy and strong.

There are a ton of great meditation CDs out on the market now too - and not very expensive ones. If you have a new age store near you, you can usually go there and even sample them to see what you like. Aromatherapy can also help - essential oils, scented candles, incense - they've all helped me to feel better during those difficult times.

Sending warm and healthy wishes your way! I hope you can find some comfort and relief.

Namaste,
Misty
