to Joan and everyone depressed/frustrated

[Guest guest]

Hi Joan,

I too totally understand and am here for you. It has been very hard to go

from a triple type A person to a person that at times (like right now) can't

seem to do anything since I'm still flaring and recovering from all of the

hospital trips in June and basically flat on my back, but I've had many

times like you've described with family in which I can't keep up and it

feels horrible to be the one that can't keep up, so you have every right to

feel frustrated. It takes a long time to come to terms with accepting this

and sometimes just when you think you have accepted everything, you find out

that it comes back to bite you again because you can't keep up during a

vacation, or you feel like you can't give enough to your spouse or any

number of reasons. Anyway, you have my total understanding and support. I

am so sorry you are going through this and I wish I could help you more than

saying that I totally understand.

I guess all I can do is give you a big cyber hug and hope that it helps and

let you know that I'm always here for you. If you want to email me offline,

feel free to. Hang in there. That goes for everyone that is feeling this way

right now.

Hugs to all,

Alli
