Probably doesn't need additions, but if it helps anyone, the one thought I've ever heard apart from reading Ella's is to: Distract yourself with something very different and very engrossing as soon as you can, for as long as you reasonably need. Great post!

But how do you find the energy to get out of bed or out of the house? I can pit in for days, not answer the phone, and I have no drive to do anything, like right now.

Thankfully I came to my senses, as I would have become a Dr. Nick-calibre physician. I'm happy to delve into behaviour identification in future posts -- what's the point of enduring psychological angst if you can't mine the experience for blog fodder?

Seriously, though, this is a brilliant post - and I love the normalising words you use. Be nice to hear more about the experiences where you actively identified these behaviours and how you crossed over, for the rest of us. :) Okay, Ella, it’s official: you are now my favourite medical doctor.
