Thoughts on how to deal with mental aspects of this

Hi guys,

I wondered if anyone has anything to add about the mental aspects of having bo. It's really a horrible thing to have to go through, to me, as I find myself withdrawing more, not doing as many social things as I used to do (and I am normally a very outgoing, social person!). Not to mention, work is a nightmare! And I used to love my job.

Do you have any ideas on how to cope with this, things that have worked with you, etc? We all know that others can be cruel and make things worse by their sometimes unkind reactions.

Thoughts?? Ideas???
