How to cope with a Chiari Funk?

I have been in a funk now for over a week, due to the pain I know. Yet another trip to hospital last night.  I Try so hard to hide it from the family, but when by myself It just busts out from keeping it in. Want to cry all the time for past week. How do the rest of you handle your funks? What do you do to make it better? In what ways do you find to cope with it all? I Try to stay positive most of the time and my defense mechanism is to smile & laugh and pretend it's all ok, but really it's not. Any suggestions from others out there?

I know it is hard to have our down days.  I have had a lot of them lately also, Selma it a great idea to get projects going.  I have a quilt that need only edging done on it and maybe this can motivate me.  As for picutes.  Not really sure how to do this so I'll have to ask my hubby to help me LOL..another project.  Wishing you a brighter day tomorrow wnzday.  Tomorrow will always be a better day today ecspecially if this one hasn't been a good one.

Good to hear youa re involved with the bridal shower. That's fun :) I also find that littel projects at times are theraputic. I have thought that this wekek too, just can't motivate myself to get there.lol But it will be better soon I know, just have to kick this cycle.
