I think your approach is a good one. Distracting the body and mind to relaxation is like a mild sedative. The fact you're mediating the condition with medicine and therapy is precisely what is recommended. So were I to try to put an anchor name on your actions it is something akin to grabbing the bull by the horns and wrestling to get control of it. Proactive action and continued effort.
Grace, mercy, peace, love . .
Not knowing and being totally bewildered is terribly unfair.
Truthfully, I pray to God and I try and find something to distract myself. Rather it's take a walk, drive somewhere, or like just last night, I took a bath. It made me much more relaxed and grounded in the present. Prior to this, I was thinking about all kinds of negative things. I take psych meds and counseling every two weeks as well. I was almost in tears and felt really alone. I hope this helps you somewhat.
John,
I've thought long and hard about this, and honestly, it's my partner. Every day, he amazes me as he finds pleasure in taking care of me.
