Hi Wendy,
I'm sorry for your troubles. It's very difficult to move through this journey without feeling frustrated at times because just when we think we're over some hurdle, another seems to creep up to take its place. Then there's this cumulative effect so that after awhile it feels like we're never going to be well or whole again. For me the trick has been to recognize that each new hurdle is different and likely temporary. I find I need to call up a lot of energy to really engulf myself in that kind of thinking; otherwise I might despair, and I refuse to do that. My journey started a little over 2 years ago. I'm 13 months out, but I keep running into new health concerns, surgeries, etc., and it feels unending, but I try to remember that how it FEELS is different than how it IS. Hope that helps.
Hugs,
Mary
