> Great post. One of the hardest things I've had to accept is that I will not have a good day every day. In fact I'll have some horrible days. But knowing its just a feeling, that I can keep trying my best to move forward in life anyway, is an attitude I want to keep. Not that I can all the time, of course.

> Reading books on ACT has helped me with this outlook. The main point of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is to accept your feelings and illness, and commit to valued action anyway. Honestly this makes the most sense to me because I have to realize that I may never be in complete remission, but I can still take steps to make my life better.Nice.
I try to use all of what little God gives me to work with. Even healthy people have their limitations. I don't know. I guess it comes down to choosing between being as positive and constructive as possible or allowing the illness to win and being as miserable as possible.
