I want to post more, to be helpful to others, or perhaps even inspire … but lately I can barely help myself, so I guess that’s where I need to continue to focus my energy and attention for now

I realize this post probably doesn’t sound a whole lot like me… but I don’t feel much like myself anymore anyway. My poor husband and kids have had to watch me struggle to get through each day, to cry and cry because I can’t do the things I want, or even Need to do, and be ok with everything changing More because mom can’t tolerate much of anything. I absolutely Hate having to take life day by day. And after 4.5 years of being forced to do that against my will, now I have to take things hour by hour, sometimes minute by minute. I do not have the luxury of planning anything for the future. As human beings, we thrive on having things to which we can look forward … I have fear and terror of what could happen. With a teeny tiny sliver of hope that I am Really struggling to maintain.
