Thank you for this positive encouragement. It's the first manageable suggestions and best support I've had. People with only good intentions suggest I get out and do more and it's not something I can face. Therapy and psychiatrists are not options either. Adding another doctor to my mix would not be doable right now. Unfortunately, I'm dealing with some physical stuff , too. I have shoulder and back mri's this week. I'm hoping my rotator cuff doesnt need a repair. I've had one done and the 3 month PT is brutal. I know I couldn't handle it right now. Also have chronic back pain nothing has helped. I have an ascending aortic aneurysm and my annual ct to check on it is in two weeks, follow-up with the thoracic surgeon a week after. All this said, I am also 72 years old. Back in December, I was an active 72 year old, but that is not my current state. As I write these things, I know why the anxiety is through the roof and the medication was helpful at one time. It's just not anymore, so I sit and worry about all these things. I know worry doesn't help, but I can't seem to stop. It's a constant cycle now. I am going to take some baby steps though and try to get out and walk again. I was able to do so three days last week. A step in the right direction! Your ideas make me think that if I could just busy myself at anything other than wallowing, I would find improvement. Your pic is lovely, and you appear even younger than my own daughters. Thanks for helping out an old lady! This has been very therapeutic to discuss with you. Thank you and I'll try to put that armor on as you suggested!❤️❤️
