Hey, i post this for rado31 who has left 
. He pm-ed these from some other support site, a google group i think, they seemed simple but good:
This isn't the answer to SP. The real answers already lie within
you, together with everything you need to act upon them. What
follows are a few simple pointers, direction indicators for those
who need them. This is by no means everything but it's a good
start:
1) Keep hope alive. Never give in to despair.
2) Success is good, but failure is ALWAYS an option. Without
failure we never learn how to succeed.
3) Nothing can beat perseverance. Persevere relentlessly and
eventual success becomes inevitable.
4) Be gentle on yourself. Don't push, but pull yourself through
this period of uncertainty.
5) Recovery is all about attitudes. What we cannot change we
*can* change our attitude towards.
6) Develop a sense of self-worth. You are just as important as
anyone else in this world and have already achieved more than
most in what you overcome just to get through each day.
7) Aim for small improvements that build on one another rather
than huge strides.
Anger, guilt and regret serve no useful purpose so challenge
these negative emotions with a positive response.
9) Don't seek perfection. Your flaws and imperfections are an
essential part of you.
10) There is *always* an upside to everything that happens
to us, even the worst things. Being able to focus on that helps
keep it all in perspective and achieve some sense of balance.
