Yes, I am listening to their advice and resting. I wonder if the high level of mental illness in out country has to do with not resting enough in the first place. I think it is so interesting that I am so resistant to resting and healing, even after breaking down to the degree that I did and having to spend time in the hospital. I find that when I do rest now, I recognize the happiness I get out of it - lying in the sunshine, reading a book, peace and quiet with no children around. Those are little things I have forgotten how to do, forgotten the importance of. I think that I have been on the go every minute of every day for the last 6 years -- since I started having children. I'm starting to get a clue that that might be a big reason I got ill to begin with. Thank you all for your kindness and thoughts!! It's good to have a place to come that is supportive of my process and experience.
