@gingerw Hi Ginger, I’m having a hard time. All these physical issues, plus changing doctors, plus I don’t know where I’ll be living in the spring. My brother and I moved here and he’s having trouble landing a full time job- he’s got a part time one. We won’t be able to stay here much longer and I don’t know what we’ll do. I’m on disability and he supports me. I’m a mess emotionally. I know I’m strong, but this is too much even for me!

@karen00 I hope this morning you saw the sunrise, and realize each day can be a new start to health. As I read the post from @merpreb, there was a lot of wisdom to draw from. @elwoodsdad and @lioness, like you the general season is not a positive for me. A combination of short day/long night, commercialism, the frenetic family issues, all seem to underscore my [already present] depression. Lots of deep breaths, and finding what works for me at that moment, being gentle on myself, knowing it's okay to say "no", writing, crafting are all working. Keeping my hands busy to ward off grabbing food to stuff feelings down. Not knowing what the near future may hold can be so scary, Karen, and being honest with your brother will help. I'll wager he is feeling upset, also.
