I echo the others' comments. This is an excellent post. You have concisely articulated many of the exact same feelings I have had.
While I now have fewer "down" days that I once did, they still hit me from time to time. When they do, I almost cease to think rationally. I tend to obsess over whatever the latest hot spot is until it too inevitably fades away. A few days or weeks later, the pattern often repeats.
This forum truly is a gift. People who do not suffer from this syndrome (even if well intentioned) simply cannot relate to what we go through physically, mentally, and emotionally.
If not for other peple sharing similar experiences and offering reassurance and support, my recovery would not be as far along as it is today.
