Mayballs,

My experience was thus.

After paying much attention I began to notice what I called early tells...my body was sending me early warnings of impending aggravated symptoms. When I learned those signals I could rest or remove myself from a situation before things got bad.

I found recovery to be much quicker that way..sometimes just a matter of minutes as opposed to hours.

Earplugs were a great source of help for me also.

I did not use any meds...my way of handling the runaway mind has been to pray and read my Bible, it changes my focus.

I am glad people live in the city...keeps my world quiet. I was raised in a town of 150 people. I live in the big city of 60,000 now but I get to work in the little town I grew up in 22 miles away!
