Just cry when you have to & try to stay busy. Having a routine has helped me some. Also found reading takes me somewhere else.
I suggest to the person who stopped reading to try it again......maybe different topics=fiction? And yes to exercise as another suggested. Keep a journal & see
how you have dealt with things or not= thoughts from your mind on to the paper, from writer to yourself as a reader. Kayr

Kayraymat,
Your idea of keeping a journal is a great idea and tool. It really helps you advocate for yourself and show your doctors, in real time mode, what is happening. Of, course you have to hope your doctor will even take a peek at it. But it can be a double edged sword too.
I have kept a medical journal for 16 years, 3 years after my two recreational accidents turned my life upside down, inside out. I was desperately hoping to find a connection between all the pains. I recently needed to find dates of occurrences for a new specialist..it was utterly overwhelming to see how bad and how long I have been a member of the walking dead. But, I did find my answers.
