I suggest you read either Kierkegaard or Camus.
Let us know how your search goes.
I also recommend going over 480 mg. of verapamil but you may want to try regular release as opposed to the extended

My take anyhoo...To live in the moment and remember the past is gone and the future doesn't exist. All we have is what is here and now. Also to remember to differentiate between what we need and what we desire. Because expending energy on searching for the things we desire, we may lose the things we need.
Is everything alright?...usually someone is looking for existential reasoning when things are really bleak.

Love, for oneself and for others.
Respect, for oneself and for others.
Enjoyment in watching a hummingbird, smelling a rose, looking at a sleeping child.
Knowledge that you are but one small piece of a huge world waiting there and open for you to enjoy all that Mother Nature has to offer.
And my personal favorite: Procreation! Making babies !

There is a certain practicality to Don's purposes really.
Human life obviously belongs to the potentialities of being. Without fundamental structural presence, struggling with meaning or purpose would not be possible.
After that, then there's that crap about a moral imperative not to waste or destroy our lives and the unconditional imperative to acknowledge every person as a person.
Deciding which way to be, and then the courage to dare a new step.*
I'll go with Don on this one.

Honestly, you need to find that out for yourself.
For "ME", it's love & belief in God my creator, and through God, the peace and sense of purpose follows.
Hard to explain, but I feel like my reason for being here is just to be me, and be as good of me as I can be. I am just to be honest & true to myself, and more than that whenever possible.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

If it ain't ripped, broke, or tore it will be.
If it don't fit, force it, if it breaks you needed another one any damn way.
