A Year with Questions- Part 4

Sometimes you will get answers, but they aren’t the ones you were expecting. The answers also may not have a clear solution linked to them. What happens next is often unknown. Possibly, there will be a need to accept that you may have to live a life different than you intended. That is a tough pill to swallow.

The events of last week are a blur. I feel like I went to hell and back in the form of several visits to Hershey, Pennsylvania. I arrived with feelings of hope and came home in pain and with confusion.

The test that was supposed to show a fixable problem showed nothing. A second test showed a problem that can’t be fixed. It left me feeling sicker physically than I ever had in my life. Emotionally, I have yet to fully process it.   The need to adapt and adjust will have to occur.  There is no other option.

At some point, I will write the whole story out- but this is it for now.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt Photocredit- Alex Anderson

        I know, I know exactly what you mean! It’s overwhelming, and stressful and scary and exhausting, everything. My anxiety sky rockets in what is supposed to be such a joyous time of year, my symptoms also make a very grand entrance and it’s just a mess! I was a mess this weekend, the larger crowds, the noise, it all make me physically sick.
        And you’re absolutely right dearest friend, you WILL be OK! Take your time, baby steps! 🙂

    I’m sorry you didn’t receive good news! 😦 The anger/frustration will eventually pass, but the feelings are totally understandable. Best wishes as you work through it.
