diagnosis- step 1

Well.. I guess after over..umm 6 years now and countless doctors I have been diagnosed with a few things that now seem to make sense to me.
1st... I knew I have been living with Fibromyalgia for over 6+ years.
2nd... it seems that my bucket is so full emotionally that the depression and anxiety have gotten so bad that the only outlet for it is to cause chronic pain in my body.Which this seems to be called Somatization Disorder aka Briquet's Syndrome.
3rd...I have to make a master plan on how to deal with it all!  (Major Stressor)

My therapist says to empty my bucket to the point of getting my life back.. my question is.. where to start?
I have always been a fixer.. and it seems i can fix things and lives for others just not myself. I need to learn how to take control of my own life again and be the person I know is in there albeit pretty deep in there.
So from today on this page will be my gateway to a better life and a healthier outlook. I will do my best to stay positive and go forward in small but determined steps. I have to as I feel my life depends on it!
 I also will appreciate any insight from others to learn how to cope. I am a very opened minded person and can learn from others.. so if you have any words of wisdom please feel free to pass them on. I will either include them in my healing process or keep them for future reference.

That's it for a start- day 1 of my journey to recovery...
