Notnrml85 and Alone & confused, I will third, fourth and fifth that! I was thinking just this morning that it seems like I'm at the top of everyone's "don't worry about
her" list (when they think at all, you know?). Whatever it is, I'm just supposed to be able to "handle it". It's exhausting. 90% of the time it's like desperately treading water just to make it through the day. It's an all-out effort just to keep up with the
basics. If I look calm, I'm probably just numb or completely zoned into a short circuit from overload. It'd be funny if it weren't so true. I spend a lot of time short-circuited. It's really not the same as coping...
These things
especially ….

or able to take on the s*** you're supposed to put up with from other people (at work for instance) then just carry on like it's no big deal on top of everything else...
Hugs all around!
