Hi Lady, You'll have ups and downs, and the downs will seem seem to outweigh the ups. But tell yourself, 1. This won't last forever. 2. You only have to go through it once 3. You can be free from pills controlling your life 4. You never have to feel that way again once it's over. It helped me to tell myself that I had the flu. Having the flu sux, b...
