Dear Medicated...you have it hard today huh? I can relate to the guilt feeling...of needing to accomplish much but unable to do so...and feeling bad later and admonishing oneself for being lazy. I told this to my doctor once and she told me to 'BE GOOD TO MYSELF'...I took it to heart. An elderly mentor also told me 'NO MUST'S...NO SHOULD'S'...what matters is 'TO HEAL...'
I got ill while in graduate school too. I decided to give it up realizing that I don't actually need it. Less stress for me as it would mean lesser shoulds and lesser musts.
My point is: Are there aspects in your life which you feel are MUSTS and SHOULDS -causing unnecessary stress - and yet which you can live without? Take care...bmx35
