I wonder if something like EMDR might help you to process the experiences and allow your brain to stop looping through the same trauma over and over.

I hold onto hope for you bpcyclist. Maybe today will be a better day and you can relax for a bit.
Thanks very much for the support, fern. Unfortunately, I am not currently able to do therapy. Long story. I have had EMDR suggested in the past. Perhaps I should look at it again. Might be able to swing that. I appreciate your pointing that out.

Anyway, going to march on. At least I am not feeling sorry for myself about this, which is progress. Not angry. Way past all that. I have more acceptance of my illness now and I think that in and of itself is a bit comforting.
