Hello @jccr and welcome to Mayo Connect. First of all, I want to congratulate you on being proactive in your treatment. Exercise, both cognitive and physical are great ways to keep any illness from becoming your major focus. Have you looked into support groups that might be available in your locale? When you meet with others who have a similar diagnosis you find strength from their stories and their victories. Suppport groups also provide the social interaction which is so important for any brain disorder. I'm sure you will find much encouragement as you join with others. In the meantime, continue to use Mayo Connect as a sounding board for your concerns. We have all faced serious illnesses and we understand how difficult it can be to deal with. Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Teresa
