It's been a time of wrestling, I'll be frank. Soul-searching, as I'm sure you all know, is not easy, but it has been worthwhile for me in re-prioritizing and returning balance to my life, especially when it comes to my faith (most importantly, the practice of my faith). This illness (*whatever it is) has seriously upended my life, to the point where I'm practically home-bound right now and cannot go anywhere on my own. For an independent-minded person like myself it is a major blow. But God has taught me a lot through it and I'm very grateful. |
Prayers for you Loosheesh, for both your mental and physical health, though it sounds as if you've taken a good look around and are making the changes you feel you need for the mental health part. I have always felt strongly that the saying God only gives us as much as we can handle is so very true - though so many times we don't actually believe it as we're living through something that feels too much. It's usually on the other side that we realize how true it is... but to me it sounds as if you are already there, ready to accept the unknown and trust that you will be able to handle it. I admire that very much and I hope you can hold on to that acceptance as you continue to go through the tests. Know that all of us here are sending you prayers, good thoughts, good karma, or whatever else we call it from our own set of beliefs. I hope you stop by a time or two just to let us know how you're doing
