Mary x, in a way this is only the beginning but the beginning is better than flailing about blindly.

Mayb,
I'm glad at least you have a sense of, is closure the right word?, acceptance, something to be able to deal with your health. It's taken me years to come to terms with my own emotional health. Thank you for reading and commenting on my housing search. I am determined not to settle for something less than acceptable, but then I have time for a thorough search, and strangely I am enjoying it, seeing vicariously what various places would be like to live in and accepting or rejecting that as an option.

Ginnieb, thank you. I have been through worse than now and strangely handled that better. Yes I feel like I have turned a corner but there is a long way to go

MayB....
..I know exactly what you mean..you start to feel nutty when you aren't doing your best but have no idea why..knowing empowers you to work toward fixing the problem or learning to overcome it..or even just accepting it. Not knowing is much worse. I sure hope it's nothing serious MayB...and a positive attitude goes a long long way!

I'm sorry to hear you have an illness, but I'm glad to hear that you're taking back your power and controlling it instead of letting it control you.

It's a great feeling when you find out
what is wrong and can fix it. I know when I went through my health scare at the beginning of the year I felt so much better when we figured out what the problem was.

Ummm
"Glad to hear you are sick?" No, that doesn't sound right.
"Congratulations on you illness?" Nope.
"Happy to hear you have found a solution to your troubles." Well, better than the others.
Ah, phooey.

I guess that when you can identify something, you limit it. So when you identify your condition, even when it is an illness, you can give it boundaries which will already be a relief.

A good frame of mind and perspective May
I don't know what your illness is, but a positive attitude bodes well for dealing and healing. This reminds me of a family member who was almost giddy with relief after learning he had diabetes. People thought the disease was causing him to act oddly, but actually he was happy to learn his symptoms and the strange vibes had a name and that it wasn't called insanity. Take care of yourself; thoughts sent.
