Hi all,
I have managed to keep myself reasonably well by doing some voluntary work in the op-shop at church, getting regular exercise (also a good way to lose some weight), eating a healthy diet and thinking positive. I also take my medications correctly and regularly, listen to my favourite music and play with my cats. When I do feel anxious and agitated, I do something to take my mind off whatever is the problem and distract myself which works really well.

dear !, well how can I call you your user name after your post, which is lovely to hear, and rather inspiring that you have now learnt on how to control what ever you had been suffering from.
It's not one step forward that you have taken, but more, and what you have said proves that there is light at the end.
I am so pleased for you, but would also like to know how your social life is going, and please only answer if you want to. Geoff.

dear !, I am really sorry about your brain surgery, and can I ask if it was caused by an accident, but I know that this would definitely cause you many problems, because I can relate to this as I was assaulted and suffered brain damage back in '83, but it certainly doesn't sound nearly as serious as what you have been through.
There are so many repercussions from any brain injury that always seems to put us two steps behind everyone else, and since you had the operation almost a year ago, there is so much for you to overcome and try and learn on how to cope with this operation.
I really would like you to get back to me. L Geoff. x
