What's helped me the most is realizing that I am not my body. I am the person observing my body go nuts and hurt. Sometimes it is scarey and I wonder "is this the way it will be forever?". But I catch myself. I refuse to catastrophize everything. I remind myself that the future is unknown. I can make changes to affect the outcome. So I observe my body and then distract myself. Often when I come back to it, the body symptoms have changed. It's such a roller-coaster
