I've been through some major highs and lows since i recieved my diagnosis. And by highs and lows i mean stages of good and bad health. Stages of working and unemployment. Bouts of depression and anxiety on a daily basis....I've had all sorts of stuff going on basically.

Sorry for not addressing you individually. But it's easier to just do a group message ...
Thanks for you consistent support and kindness . It's been breaking up the monotony of 24/7 mi stuff for some time now. There also many others I'd like to thank but don't wanna make a big deal out of everything.
I said to myself just the other day . I'm allowed to get on with life. I'm allowed to be happy. And I'm allowed to be successful. It was a short lived self talk session . But gave me some degree of hope at the same time .

Thank you @eudemonism
for taking the time to leave us such a lovely piece of writing..
thanking us and showing appreciation just reaffirms how lovely a person you are Eude.
As for the last paragraph that you wrote:
"I said to myself just the other day . I'm allowed to get on with life. I'm allowed to be happy. And I'm allowed to be successful. It was a short lived self talk session . But gave me some degree of hope at the same time ."
Well said..
I also think that short lived is easier to remember...concise and clear.
I shall even soak in those words myself today.
Thank you 💚

hello @eudemonism @TAB @Meowmy
Sorry that I missed you earlier Eude.
I am on here at random times.
Sending you calm energies to assist in you having some much needed sleep.
Wishing all of you a peaceful night of sleep which seems to elude most of us..
