Staying Motivated for the Long Haul

Had the last treatment of BCG and now another biopsy on 9/30. As many know it is the waiting. Trying to keep busy and attempting to be motivated about something. Thyroid has dropped to the bottom of the chart. I thought the TSH had plummeted again. Keep requesting The new dosage. I have been doubling the thyroid medication I have on hand. Throwing up my hands in that "I give up" and nigh on to appearing there in person and realize that is pointless as well. This slipshod/slapdash way of dealing with patients is absurd!! Feeling like I have made a quantum leap backwards and motivation is a challenge. Also in that "why bother?" frame of mind.
At least I have stopped by for a while. A start...

@parus Pull a chair up, we have hot water on for tea! Do you have your traveling kit for art with you? What!? You don't?? Here, I'll share some paper and pens. Together we can inspire ourselves, and chat away the blues. How does that sound? How can we support you? We are so glad you stopped by.

Hi @parus, I am glad that you "stopped by for awhile." I have been thinking about you. When you say, "Thyroid has dropped to the bottom of the chart" I was wondering if this is what the blood tests show or if it reflects how you are feeling?
I'm sorry to hear that you are in the "why bother," frame of mind, but it is understandable. You've been through a lot here lately and it is easy to lose perspective and positivity. Hang in there, I'm cheering for you and I'm in your corner.
