Im so sick of all this ****. I just want to be 'normal.' im tired of dealing with all the crap we deal with to function.

im tired.

of it all.
I've learned the hard way that when you're drowning you're no good to your friend that's drowning. As hard as it may be, you have to take care of yourself first. I've seen by your posts that you're struggling. Self care is so important. You need to focus on yourself.

I get being sick and tired. I've been feeling the same way for awhile now. All the efforts I've been trying to make just don't seem to be working very well. It's discouraging to say the least. I always say the same thing, "I just want to be normal". I've given up on that one.

So I go on day after day riding the wave. What else are we going to do?
