I’m starting to come to grips with the fact that this is a lifelong condition…. It’s my job to manage it (and a full time job it is….)…. If it goes away someday, then yay! Until then, I just do my best, and stay high Now, don’t get me started on the addition of chronic pain….
I kept it bottled up for a very very long while! I usually kept it bogged up long enough that when I got back home I could go to the garden or some other farm chore and work it off. There was always something to do there!

You just gotta be pragmatic about it dude. Go with what works at that time! Sometimes it's hard as **** to figure out which way to go!
