Apologies for the excessive imagery. lol And thank you for the compliments.

As for controlling my swings, I hope I haven't really suggested that I can do that. I try like anything to do all the little things i find that make ANY difference hoping that all together, they might make ENOUGH difference to matter. If nothing else, maybe it keeps me in touch with that part of me that remains through both ends of the swing. Sometimes, when it's so crazy, it's all I can do to remember I am not my symptoms. Seems like such a small thing when I say it, even to my own eyes, but when the chips are down, it matters a lot.
