Being in a positive environment definitely makes things much much easier. There are two hospitals I visit regularly. The first one I have to pay for parking after circling endlessly, the place is older with little natural light, the staff are over worked and speak tersely to patients. The second has ample free parking, lots of natural light, plants and an atrium. The staff get regular breaks and they speak in a soft calm tone. The first hospital results in me rushing home to rest. Exhausting. The second? Almost feels like going to the spa! Relaxing. I have definitely been more sensitive to these things since diagnosed.
