I also compare myself to others and wonder what the heck my problem is when they're coping so well with what has to be worse issues than mine. Hang in there. And thanks for the support. It means a lot.Avivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411667763810131618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-44487304111168909372007-12-08T12:39:00.000-08:002007-12-08T12:39:00.000-08:00You've had a lot come down on you in a relatively ...You've had a lot come down on you in a relatively short time. I really think you're dealing with it all remarkably well. I had 12 years from my original diagnosis before I became unable to work full time. Mine was a much slower process. When I compare myself to some others I see (I know, I shouldn't do that), it's taking me eons to come to acceptance of the facts of life with chronic illness.<BR/><BR/>I still frequently feel overwhelmed by NOTHING compared to what I used to accomplish in a day. Then I remind myself that I'm still going through rough waters with filing for SSDI etc. (or my counselor reminds me to remind myself) and I go to work on one of the many relaxation techniques I know or am learning, instead.Sherrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898319570225926653noreply@blogger.com
