We'll always be here for you . Having someone close in the family suffering from lifelong mental health issues it is a constant struggle, but one that can be controlled. When you find yourself slipping into an area you know you don't want to be heading towards look for things to divert your attention to peaceful pleasant things you love. Music helped me when my health issues had me reeling in constant pain, and I've expanded now using You Tube video's of people hiking , camping, eating out around the world, and things I know I will never be able to do , but can enjoy thru others. Love nature video's , and travel, and instructional stuff. Find things you love , and when you feel bad get your attention to those things. Don't know if you can , but it's helped me dealing with my health issues. Good luck and take care of yourself. I have Muscular Dsytrophy and Parkinson's, and other issues they haven't figured out yet. Be thankful and always think of others who have it a lot worse. I think of the little kids i see it at the MD clinic and it makes me realize it could have been much worse for me. The shaking from my Parkinson's have made me a hit with my little dog and cat for massages .
