As for me I'm having trouble finding time for anything but work and trying to help my D20 get settled and getting her a drivers license. The truth is I'm feeling more depressed now than at any point in my sitch. I just can't find the energy I used to. I'm hoping once I get D20 settled in, I'll start feeling better.
I have to get to bed now but will try to stop back soon. Hope everyone is doing well!
Matt, I haven't been on for a while myself, but came on for a brief check . I have been very busy with my kid, C as well, so that's part of it (not frequenting here, 'GAL' ). Had some really good times a few weeks ago. We did a lot together - I was able to get 'out there.' Then I got sick lol ... so that a bit of a bummer afterward.
I do find myself depressed recently (last few days in particular (?), & my energy level is also really low. But illness is work for the body soooooo ... I not worried!
Anyway, so much has caught up w/ you after years of trying. Is it really hard to understand? The 'depletion.' I know some part of me feels defeated. It was hard - it IS hard sometimes. So after trying & hoping, we have exhausted much. The only thing I can suggest is to try to counter it.
I will get some $$ this week & I will be back 'out there' with C. (again) Too much 'output' for too long ... time to INPUT Matt. Take D 20 somewhere & just enjoy. I also thought of printing out (digital) pics of some of the good times as visual reminders around the home. p.
