Well, double crumbs, Nancy.I just answered this and made one tiny little mistake and somebody ate my answer. Was it Dr. Bob? I will try to repeat what I said. I said:
We ARE all riding the same merry-go-round (as someone said here before me)- and the music isn't the only - or biggest - problem I have. I have a tendency to misread people at times, usually those times that my illness is manifesting itself more drastically. I also said that, like you, I have a mouth like a full body slam that shows out when I least expect it. I like what Alan or ? just said before me - to remember that hopelessness is a symptom of the disease. Yes, I know, hard to hold on to in the midst of hopelessness, but that's what friends are for - to remind you when you can't remind yourself. I also want to remind you that you are functioning in some way and that also in some way you're still filling the space intended for you and fulfilling your purpose (which I have decided may be infintesimally small for some of us - but critical none the less) and we need you to keep doing that. And the one thing we do know - Nancy is a catalyst. Very best wishes - keep fighting - Danielle
