Dealing with emotional ups and downs, especially when living with Parkinson's disease, can be challenging. Here are some strategies based on my knowledge base:

- Mindfulness Practice: Approach the present moment with openness and curiosity. This takes practice and time but can help manage stress and emotional fluctuations.
- Social Support: Join an online social network like MyParkinsonsTeam to connect with others facing similar challenges.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Consider cognitive behavioral therapy and biofeedback to cope with stressors.
- Physical Activity: Regular exercise can reduce depression and stress.
- Rest: Ensure you get plenty of rest, as inadequate sleep can affect your mental health.

I’m 7 years into this disease; and I’ve learned early on in the course of PD that the only movies, tv shows, books, podcasts etc that I can now tolerate must be comedy!

This vicious disease has altered my brain chemistry from where I once enjoyed an exciting thriller (book or movie) I now find myself frightened for days by a fiction that was designed to entertain.

I haven’t watched the news for at least 2 years… because I AM NOW CHICKEN LITTLE!
