I agree!! an idol mind is a dangerous one. keep your mind occupied on something , any project either big or small. I myself anger is my enemy with this beast , and the feeling of uselessness. wich makes me more angry. before I knew why I was getting angry I was an unstable bomb. the first out burst cost me a table and a window.. Don't ask!!! not saying I don't get angry but I understand it and can see when its coming and try to work it down.. many feelings come with this beast. a shrink is suggested as part of RSD/CRPS treatment for a reason, with the mix of our emotions towards our unfortunate situation and as I call it (basket of goodies) drug therapy, ..well all that aside. and what I find most useful is forums such as this. it gives me perspective, it places my mind on others, and their strife and I "try" to offer good advice. there for helping someone else. This then makes me feel better that I could do something good for another. and also I see others who suffer this beast reechoing out to others to help. and gives me hope.. vent vent vent. leave nothing behind. it also might help to see what you feel in others threads.
I offer you many warm thoughts and sending you positive energy and many soft hugs.(you are not alone)
