daphne, What you say is all so True for those have suffered through depression, PTSD and other things that add to our disease! Last night I came home from running errands about 6 PM! All of a sudden the Big Black Cloud came over me. I believe Winston Chruchill called it his Black Dog! It is truly the first time I have had an episode like last night in many years. I watched a little news and Spiders mate on the Science Channel, LOL! And didn't eat diner! I came up to my office and sat down at this computer and started reading Connect!
I'm usually in bed and asleep before 10 PM.
I stayed up until after midnight reading and trying to answer things I knew about! By the time I went to bed the Black Cloud was gone! I woke up this morning and decided that I was the only one that could help Me! I cancelled out of my Zoom Silver Sneakers class today!
I just took the day for Richard! Going to do that the rest of the week!
It was very Scary when I realized what was happening to me last night!!
But as I've said before age, experience, learning, trying and even failing is the only way we all will overcome this horrible disease! Chronic illness does not help, but it makes us dig deeper to feel better!
The former coach of North Carolina, Jim Valvano, heard him give in a speech! NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
If we live by that we'll suvive!
You have a whole Wonderful, Blessed Group of Friends that are standing with you to hear and listen to what you say! It's important to all of us!
Bless You!
From, The Land of Enchantment!
