There are so many things out of our control...the best advice I have ever gotten since getting RSD is to not focus on the things we can't control (like what work comp does) but to focus on what I CAN control so that I can keep moving forward. That has helped me through all the hardest times.
Oh, how I strive to be like that. I am a chronic worrier which only makes things worse. I have tried meditation but it is difficult for me to stay focused. Recently, I have been trying mindfulness exercises with success. I will continue to strive to be more positive like you. Thank you for the inspiration.
