I tend to use reverse psychology, by remembering back to "harder" times. My first and second attacks were so much worse then anything I have experienced since, so that helps keep things in perspective.

I sleep a lot during those difficult times. Makes the time go faster.

I tend to avoid posting as much (or not at all) on the forums when I am less well, but I still read.

When all else fails, and when I just can't take any more . . . I just give into the feelings of desperation and anger. I scream at 'whom-ever' may be listening (to my conscience), and I completely give up. That's when things always turn the corner for me, and each improvement lifts me higher and higher.
