Pain. Chronic, sharp pain. Lately, it has been overwhelming. Takes out a lot energy and leaves me limited. I am grateful for the new therapist I have who understands PTSD and depression. But, lately, It's just exhausting.

I know I am going through a tough time with my brother's case. I'm aware of it, hyper-aware. I am learning steps. Slowly. Doing what I know with what I can.

Psalm 38.

What you are doing IS NOT EASY FOR ANYONE to do. but the point is you doing it, moving forward with the necessary tasks. You are being brave and strong even though right now you may feel the opposite.

Also, although you are posting about your difficulty your words reflect strength and determination. You are one strong cookie KatB and I admire you - for how far you've come, and for working hard on the process now.

The best to you.

it IS exhausting!!! i couldn't agree more with you.

i'm sorry you're having such a tough time right now, but i think you have a really good attitude about it. slow steps, and doing what you can sound positive.

FindingKat, I looked up the Psalm you mentioned and in the light of what you wrote, it stood out that it says "my pain is ever with me" (verse 17). Yes, chronic pain.

I've got it, too, not just with PTSD but with chronic kidney disease and its side effects. I know.

The psalm says "do not be far from me" later on, too. It is asking God to be close. I'm glad you posted here so your DS friends can be close, too. Hang in there Kat.
