Gizmo...so sorry that you are struggling so....I am not going to add any more ideas as I think supporters have given you lots of good ones. Just wanted you to know that you are heard and you are not alone. Keep reaching out. Take sweet care of yourself.

@She Cat Big hugs to you for making me laugh. You are so right. I used to have every day like this and it has been so long I had forgotten. I am feeling so much better now. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. :hug:

@Joan I am giving myself the treatment for the next two days. Big hug to you as well.:hug:

To all who responded each one of you really touched my heart in such a profound way today and when I needed support you guys were there. Thank you so much from the depths of my soul.:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

@VioletButterfly thank you for your support.:hug:

I am feeling so much better today it is a miracle. I hope that I do not have days like that again.
Again thank you all of you for getting me through yesterday. My situation has not changed but I have. I have a fresh outlook on life.

Thank you VB and heather:hug:. I am feeling tired so I think that prettysoon I will go to bed. I have breakfast with a friend tomorrow. To get out and about will be good for me.

Still feeling fragile but my path is clear to do things around here to get the addictive feeling of accomplishment
Because that makes me feel better.

Hi @gizmo , thinking of you and hoping this finds you having a better day and a nice sleep.

From Rainer Maria Rilke:
Almost all our sadnesses are moments of tension that we find paralyzing because we no longer hear our surprised feelings living. Because we are alone with the alien thing that has entered into our self; because everything intimate and accustomed is for an instant taken away; because we stand in the middle of a transition where we cannot remain standing. For this reason the sadness too passes: the new thing in us, the added thing, has entered into our heart, has gone into its inmost chamber and is not even there any more, — is already in our blood. And we do not learn what it was. We could easily be made to believe that nothing has happened, and yet we have changed, as a house changes into which a guest has entered.
