Few can: Control of this challenging condition is very difficult - you're not alone. Hopefully, you'll avoid the most distressing symptoms, but even that may be hard at times. Medications are hard to live w/ but probably are necessary. Try to find your best fits. Try to create a safe setting for bad times and have a trusted other. Go there like a refuge to get thru. Stock it w/ your most comforting things!
