I feel the same way. I am sorry you are having to deal with this
because I know what it feels like to deal with this. It makes me feel
like I am in so much control when in reality, I am not. I just
started therapy for it about 4 weeks ago and so far that's all I have
figured out. And the only reason I began therapy is because I noticed
the health issues that were starting to come about. I hope it goes
better for all of us soon.
