RZ, great advice!

PB, someone in another thread (regarding panic attacks) said knowledge is power. So true.

Fear is the greatest enemy. But if we expect that there will be days like this, that it is a normal part of the process, we can rather shrug our shoulders.

The bad, depressive days get fewer and fewer. But they still occur. No one is surprised at grief over death of a loved one. It is a horrible, horrible feeling. No one is surprised at anxiety over an upcoming exam. It to , is horrible, but the reason most people deal with it is because they accept it as a rational reaction to a real situation. They know it will subside.

So too with gnarly moods in recovery. Very natural, predictable, and justified. Recovery is a bio-psycho-spiritual upheaval. Surprise! Not.

This too shal pass. Try, as RZ said to make something good of it.
