    Illness for sure plays a part. The fun procedures themselves, along with waiting for results. The worry. The ever-present symptoms.  And knowing nothing will really change; just keep it from getting worse.

    In a way we all do that — ride the waves, falter sometimes, keep your head above water, sink a bit, and rise again. Always rise again. 

    Life ain’t easy, that’s for sure. It’s also what makes us who we are. Navigating those obstacles whether grand or inconsequential…it’s a part of us.

    Hang in there, Rob. You’ve done it, you CAN do it. Remember to breathe. 
    very well said.

    I hope it alleviates some of your suffering to talk about it. I know it helped me yesterday. I rarely talk about my illness, even though diabetes is one sexy subject. Blood sugar sex magik y'all! ;)

    It is exactly that going against that instinct and voice inside that ive lived by. I had many traumas  i listed them and its over 10 and they say thats  why im like it

    have you begun addressing these traumas individually one by one? come to terms on one, move on to the next?

    It can be ridiculously difficult — and even then, still lingering in ways. Me, I can’t help but hold to (some of) the bad and the ugly; it’s part of my makeup now…of me.

    But I do believe it is possible to come to terms with some or all of that/those traumas — to not let it to hold you back, not let it make you doubt yourself, to not allow that baggage to burden you.

    Its getting worse every  day. I guess when i get to Friday  i have the  first  appointment  of the day thankfully.  Then i will know more and panic more.  Or less. My daughter  is 4 tomorrow  and i willl have to raise my game. And thats not negotiable.  Im taking her to find a beach no matter  what.

    I believe you will find that beach. I'm so glad you have her birthday to think about. If there's anything that can help combat the anticipation of your appointment--it's your little girl having fun and being happy.

    Had a very rough weekend for the first time in a long time , feeling better today but sucks that I spent my weekend pretty much sleeping all day so I did not have to feel the anxiety ( that iron like taste in your mouth ) I hated it and just realized that sleeping it off would be better.

    I think the worst part is you feel better and now I am back at work , hopeful not to ruin next weekend.

    Thinking of all of you.

    I hope at some point next weekend, you can spoil yourself somehow. Plan for it all week, get excited about it, and have a backup plan just in case it falls through. So you will even have a rainy day way to spoil yourself.

    Keep going matt.  Sleep or even laying  with eyes shut listening to a tv play is sometimes the only way

    intensive counseling or therapy to address each individually or group like traumas?? It seems to me a collective of trauma would at minimum seem insurmountable if not actually be so?

    I have to admit that I had a problem with your original comment, because it seemed so black and white--and trauma is anything but black and white. Trauma affects you in ways you aren't even aware of, but it isn't all bad because it also gives you more empathy towards people in pain. 
    However, your second comment seems to take into account the enormity of it all, so you understand. I see that now. I see where you're coming from a little better
