Does anyone have any answers?
Do any of you feel the same?
I feel this way all the time.

I dont have any answers though, I just try not to think about it, take the meds and think of it just as today. Big picture is too big and sad and scary. Today is ok. I can accept today.

As for is it worth going on? I try not to think about that either. I just hope it will be better.
