MC69,

This is excellent advice you've been given by Phil. I agree with all of it -- good stuff! -- except:

Quote:
Only come to these boards once or twice a day. Don't try to read other people's situations. It will make you feel worse. In some cases it may make you feel better. There is always someone in a worse situation than you are.


Most posters find tremendous COMFORT in knowing that they're not alone, and that other people are going thru exactly what they are going thru. Also, you can learn a great deal from the successes (and the failures!) of the rest of us, and what has worked and NOT worked in our sitches.

But other than that quibbling, I'm with Phil -- esp. that you need to EAT. I had to force myself to at the beginning, but you need to keep your energy level up. Anti-depressants really helped me as well; you may want to ask your doctor about them.
