I try to be objective about it ... Move away and look at things without the personal, emotional involvement ...,
and it doesn't help a bit. Sooner or later I have to come smashing crashing back to earth ...

and everything is same as it was.

Hi, Anika. I'm several years down the road for you, but my body is simply falling apart in parts. It ain't pretty. As Bette Davis said, "Getting old ain't for sissies."

I'm glad we've got a sense of humor, it will keep us somewhat sane & that's quite necessary. We've got each other, too, and some other stalwarts at PsychCentral. I am ALWAYS here for you.

Roadie
