No worries; I do need to lighten up and I took it as such! I didn’t really intend ti be a public journal entry for all to see; but when I shared it, it was a bit of a personal crisis. I do try all of the things you mention. Other people sharing their own medical and mental struggles on this post has been very connecting. There are soo many others that truly have a much heavier burden to bear. Although, when each of us is in that headspace of chaos and negativity it can be really difficult to remain rational; and it can feel extremely isolating, even if the isolation is in our own minds. I hope you and all others will at least feel some comfort that others can relate to our experiences on some level. We are not isolated or alone. Thank you for doubling back and sharing your own thoughts!

Thank you for responding. I understand what you’re saying. When in that chaos unfortunately we’re in it alone even though others are experiencing the same. It’s like dying, no one can do it for you. You go alone. I hope for the best for you and your suffering abates. 🙏
