CJSkippy, Cymbalta did nothing for me. But give it a little while, as it helps some folks.
sjbrown, one thing that helped me when I was working to accept every day as it comes was thinking of it in terms of the teaching of many of the great spiritual leaders, who have been quoted as saying to take each day as it comes and live in the moment rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Each moment is all we ever really have. When I start to get bogged down, I have learned to look around me like this:
OK, I am in my own little house. Over there are my beloved animals and they are happy I am here. I have enough to eat today and as far as I know will have enough to eat for the rest of the week and month. I have a few people in the world who care about me. I am not a slave or a refugee. I have clean water to drink, and am not outdoors at the mercy of the weather. I have a stove, a refrigerator, and a real bed. So, in this moment, even if I am in pain and cannot do what I would prefer to be doing today, today is really not so bad.
That perspective helps me a lot. I hope it might be helpful to you as well.
