How do you get through the bad days? [View all]

Are you part of a support group? Do you find therapy helps? Some people clean, work out, read, sleep, all different sorts of things.

I don't have many bad days any more, for many different reasons. I done just about everything to get through one. Lost myself in a book, ate entirely too much, slept through 2 or 3 days, clean my house till you could eat off the floors, you name it I did it. Now, I don't really 'run' from the bad days. I allow myself to think about for a few minutes and then I say, ok that's all you get and move on. It took me years and a lot of support and happy days--that included living life--to get to that point.

It has been a struggle not to let the darkness win. I'm glad I won instead.

How is everyone?
