I agree. I have finally wound up in a job that lets me set my own schedule, and to spend most of my time outdoors. I am much happier. I agree with all you have written in your post. Alcohol has no place in the diet of one who deals with depression, and depression is a constant danger with CH.
Every harsh drug I have tried to use to control CH has created more problems than any good it has done me; lithium being at the top of that list. Fighting CH; being angry about it, just leads to more anger, more frustration. I have it, and as Drummer says, there is not one damn thing I can do about it. Might as well make peace with the idea and structure my life in the best way possible around the CH.
Damn good post, Gary.
