Do you ever battle to stay off the pity pot when something else is added to everything else we are dealing with in our lives?

The last several weeks I've been having blood pressure problems, two TIAs that resolved within 72 hours, minimal residual effects--for which I am very grateful, but the fatigue and balance problems remain along with some vision problems
I'm relying on others to drive me wherever I have to go...hopefully that will not be necessary for much longer.

The past year I believe I did well handling the surgeries and infections, along with personal upsets that were troublesome.

I'm trying very hard not to be resentful, to be upbeat, and be patient.
But I'm also a bit po'd about this happening to me. I do not mean to imply that I'm any better than anyone else...only that I am emotionally drained from it.

I have missed being active here at PC, but sometimes all I can do is read and send good thoughts/give thanks for a post. Not much support to give to people who have done so much to help me in the past...

So...how do y'all handle it when you feel like you have been blind sided by yet another health problem?
Sometimes I feel that I am on a roller coaster of feelings... only to have that roller coaster crash and fling me into that "rotten-attitude room."

This depression/anger may be the result of the TIAs...I know this but it does not make it any easier.

Guess I am on that pity pot after all...

In Peace
