hit a wall (metaphorically)

[Aelfie]

I think I just need to vent and get it all out there. I've been doing a good job of just carrying on the best I could whilst waiting on important hospital tests and living confined to the house, only seeing my partner (who is good but not great at empathy or feelings, bless him). But this week I had to defer my masters placement for the year due to my how bad my health is, even though it's online. I was so excited to start. I recently lost a friendship I thought I had made and feel so misunderstood and disappointed by that whole situation. It was probably better off in the long run, but so emotionally draining.

The possible diagnoses I have coming are very serious and it's one of the bunch. After getting a cold a few weeks ago, I'm struggling to stand to wash the dishes. In my old life I was active, really resilient, and overachieving. Now I just feel sad, tired, lonely. I think I've been in survival mode and now I can suddenly feel all my emotions and grieving, trying to find some hope.

Thanks if you read this. I just really needed to whine somewhere.

I hope the results are more favourable than you expect.

Whining is good sometimes, as long as you don't dwell in it. After all, we all hit a wall sometimes. I hope whatever outcome you get is manageable and you get back on track soon.

Thank you both. It will probably be at least 6 months to find out so I need to find some good to focus on in the meantime. But I had good news today that I should be able to start a different migraine treatment soon, so that's something

Sorry to hear you're suffering. I hope it gets better for you sooner than later.

Stat strong brother/sister.

You're not alone in your struggles, so pray for strength and healing as I will too.

All you can do while you wait is find things to distract yourself- pockets of sunshine in a storm. The fact of the matter is that nobody knows what is coming tomorrow. Just make every second worthy of remembering and tell everyone you love how you feel about them. Regardless of the news you receive, enjoy everything in your life. And please don't be afraid to talk about it with us- we're here to vent to.
