Thank you so much for the response Berkeley.I got the same advice yesterday from my pshyc about staying in the moment!Don't look back or ahead....just stay in the moment.So as Im spazzing out on poor guy the phone rings...the call I needed for cognitive therapy!were both smiling and I have state coming to my house @10am today for assessment  I sent apologize to all the MDs & people I spazzed out on.....but this is a prime example why I need this therapy besides my impairments  I apologies to this group for the negativity...I have been trying really hard to stay positive lately but we all know how frustrating this can be!

And awful physically.
It is hard to stay positive and focused on each moment, doing what we must for ourselves to rest/recuperate and hoping for the good brain days.
I have found a lot of grace and solace from everyone here. It really is about staying in the moment (not racing to the past in anger or running from the future in fear), just doing what you can to bring relief, peace, and calm to yourself.
It can be so simple and so complicated to do so, but I think it is essential.
I hope you find some moments of calm today!
