[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 1222852, member: 160898"] I haven't tried a counsellor so I don't know how helpful they would be. I've recently started meditating and am finding it useful: for reducing stress and generally accepting things (my medical conditions) as they are, not getting depressed and not worrying about the future. I started off with a free smartphone app "Headspace" then switched (after the free trial ended) to Buddhify which cost a one-off £3.99. I've also just purchased a book "Mindfulness for Health: A practical guide to relieving pain, reducing stress and restoring wellbeing" by Vidyamala Burch, Danny Penman. It won an award in 2014 from the BMA and is supposedly recommended by the NHS. I've only just started it, but it's very readable and is based around an 8 week course. (There are hundreds of recommendations on Amazon.) Shine on you crazy diamond [emoji3] [/QUOTE]
