Chatty Lady, you're so right. I have to learn to say 'no'. I have to learn to put myself first and recognize the signs that make me sick. I have to set limitations on my activities when it comes to the level of "excitement" I can handle.

I just returned from a visit to my psychiatrist and he was in agreement. It's all about managing my environment. Finding life management skills. I'll be attending partial hospitalization therapy where 5 days a week from 9 - noon I go to a place for group therapy sessions. This is where I'll learn these "life management" skills I need to cope so hopefully I'll know how to handle my symptoms next time.
