    Hi,

    I've just started on it too. Coping isn't easy, but you can and will get through it and it's worth it. Try to find something to take your mind off it, reading, TV, even solitaire on the computer. Also try to look outwards, literally, look out the window, take a walk, even if you don't feel like it. Mundane advice, I know, but hope it helps.
