Re: living w/family

Your instincts, , are right on.

as to mother s__t, I can relate. I feel blessed I do not need to move

in with family or friends. I'm easily upset, and so are family, even

some friends. I used to rent an apartment with a kinda kitchen

downstairs to strangers for 18 years. I much prefer strangers who keep

their distance and pay rent.

Wood, MD, FMS researcher, said last August, based on his brain

research, FMS brains can handle no stress at all.

Your stress is out the kazoo, as it is for many of us.

I did not believe it possible for me to live alone with all my

symptoms, to be able to afford to live alone. Yet, here I am. You are

on the right track, imagining life living with less stress by

yourself, as long as you continue to have access to computer and email.

Once on medicaid, you are likely to qualify for an aide, as a friend

of mine has. Not that help is easy. It's harder than you might think.

And, we wanna do it ourselves. If we need the help, we have to

acclimate ourselves to accepting our reality, our need for help, give

up ego and former images of ourselves and find whatever charm we can

in our altered lives.

Art helps, looking at art is almost as good as doing art thanks to the

internet. Keep looking forward, . You're almost there.
