I had an unusually bad bout with Depression and Anxiety just yesterday, as a coincidence. Today, nothing.

I'm not on any specific meds for the mental issues at this time. The pain meds I do take also help the emotional stuff, fortunately, but mainly coping is about attitude. I always tell people to aim for the center: don't let the lows get too low, don't let the highs go too high.

The lows are obvious, but why restrain the highs? If you're finally feeling good after all this pain, aren't you entitled to some unbridled positives? Well, I've found emotions don't work that way. It's more like a pendulum, swinging naturally between positive and negative. Swing too far in either direction, and you have to deal with the equal-but-opposite reaction on the other side.

Hope my experience helps you some how.
