2. I understand how difficult it can be.

Some days you have to get by minute by minute so that you can hopefully get to a day where you make it through a whole hour and then for a day. I've had a lot of those minute by minute days. It sucks. No other way to say it. I've had times where if one more person said "keep your chin up" I wanted to punch their chin. I hope that you can find some local support group. Not the doctors and social workers,although you need them, but people who have your experience so that they can help you up on bad days and have fun with you on good days.

Here is wishing you more good days than bad. Take care of yourself, there are people who care about you.
