what stage i'm in. i was doing a little better a few months ago and now i'm not. my friend says "2 steps forward -- 1 step backward". i feel like i took 5 steps backward. i have my own health problems -- nothing that will kill me, i.e., IBS, CFS/ME, scoliosis.

i feel like i have no reason to live except for my cat who is 12 years old. hubby and i were together almost 42 years.
