I can relate sometimes. I had some success up until the past five years. I feel like my life is in shambles compaired to before I got sick. Just need to go on and build a new life with these new limitations. Accepting the limitations is the hard part. I can't always accept them consistently and this slows down progress quite a bit. And being with others who do not have to fight this illness and appear that they can handle life better can send me into a tail spin if I am feeling "less than".
