yes, I agree it's "hell". What I am finding "hell" is just getting the right dx. It's a lot about just keeping track of our own emotions - being aware and able to identity feelings and so forth instead of unconsciously becoming oblivious to feelings and emotions as a way of coping. (what I've done for so long).I think this splurge of energy with "projects" like painting my room and gardening and putting together book shelves tables, etc. has to with the fact that I'm afraid to stop and feel.....
keep me posted on your experience of serz.
