I can't knock down that first domino. I was going to type I try every day and I fail every day. That's not true. It's more of how I define success. I got up, showered, dressed, kept my doctor's appointment, stopped for lunch. I am now exhausted and beating myself up because I swore I would not go back to bed today. There's so much I should do and I'm always tired from the meds. I'm overwhelmed and if I push myself too much I have a full on panic attack. The domimo analogy really resonated with me. Thanks.
