Thank you jmariet43 for posting how you are feeling and experiencing.
Just to let you know, it lends strength to ME knowing I am not alone in my feelings.
And I feel honoured that people take the time to share their points of view, their frustrations and feelings with me.
If I sleep well, I say good. If I eat poorly any given day, I tell myself I can appreciate having had a good sleep. Or I'll get even with good exercise like a run, or a walk or a hike, or snowshoeing, or x-country skiing.
It's not like these things even remotely balance. But they are the weapons in my arsenal of tactics when self doubt strikes.
... and my enemy has felt the sting of my rapier wit/self-congratulation
Hey I thought I would share.
Thanks again!
