@tekkie3 When we realize that we truly are not alone in getting through/around the obstacles in our path, it feels good, doesn't it? Being brave with yourself to say your truth, and getting support, is a big deal.

Working everyday with multiple health concerns, never knowing what my energy levels will be, sometimes makes me sad, or depressed. It's a lot of self-talk to get going. It would be easy to just vegetate, to not get out to do something. My experience is that getting up off the couch/chair, and expending whatever energy I can/want to, will really help me in the long run. Coming here to Mayo Clinic Connect, and hearing how others manage, gives me hope, gives me the drive to do it!
