I'm so sorry for your troubles. What has helped me is to focus on the moment by moment or day by day mentality. Nothing is forever. Truly.
Nausea is the worse- icing the neck, ginger/chamomile tea, and bubbly-seltzer water have helped.
Each day will bring changes-it's just hard to stay positive when you hit a rough patch.
Be kind to yourself---
