I want to get to the point where I can make plans for the future and live a more active life. You've got a lot going for you too.
About that feeling of drowning, is that related to isolation or to hopelessness or to neither or both?

Thanks so much! I feel if I don’t stop fighting I will die, so I keep busy and plan good things. Today I’m exhausted from the activity. I have Fibromyalgia so there is a downside to being too busy. I crash physically.
The overwhelmed feeling comes from being at maximum capacity to cope and not having the resources to help. My friend over east (3000 miles away) is the only friend who calls me and that is about monthly. She cares and that is why I’m going to see her. I’m lucky to have her and my family. Thanks again.
