Although there are sometimes days when I don't want to go on, the fact that I have so many things to do all the time keeps me going just the same.

Plus I just keep reaching out for them -- one is bringing her dog for play dates, another I call, one I text. It's not the same, but then everything always changes.

Your daily responsibilities and chores are keeping you from being permanently sucked down. I know it seems like you aren't making progress at times, but the fact that you can function and recognize that others have needs outside of your own is a big step. I grieve with you, Angela. We haven't met, but I know what you are feeling.
