I am so grateful for many things. Mostly, and ironically, I am grateful for now having the capacity to BE grateful. (When I was way deep in the pit that was impossible for me. And that wasn't my fault, it was my biochemistry at the time) On the short term, I am grateful that I've actually slept the last three nights, so I got to go play with my nieces and nephews yesterday, and today got up and baked two pumpkin pies to take to my family's Thanksgiving. I am grateful for my cat and that I can work. I am grateful that on days when my auto-immune disease, anxiety and sleep are all manageable I can actually have good days. I am grateful that I seem, in the long run, to be getting better slowly over time (even though on a day to day basis sometimes its hard for me to see that and I get down about it)

For everyone on this board still in the really deep pits, I can only say HOLD ON. And I know that is poor consolation/advice, because it did nothing for me when I was in the pit myself. But I could not conceive of even having a life five years ago, and i do have one today. Yes, a small and somewhat compromised life, but its still a life.

Much love to all of you. K
