AS can be a hear some days but you can be happy if you choose to be. You have to find a great support system as well as some small activities to keep your mind busy. Social groups are great and a place to vent when needed and always boost moral when you are down, adult coloring has become a big hit and can even be done in bad days in bed or laying down. Music therapy feels the soul with that happy hormone we all have. You have to think positive in order to overcome the bad and to be happy. Surround yourselves with positive people and people who believe, love, and support you. Without that it can be used which is why most belong to groups in Facebook and such where everyone understands their disease and can help each other out an cheer them up. Reading also helps. Basically anything to distract your mind from pain or thinking about what next. You can't live like that. It will drag you down. So always be happy, help others if even just good morning how are you? That can make some ones day more than anything. Be sure your family and friends understand your disease as well.....There sky is the limit happiness is everywhere if you allow it in!
