"Of course, the me you knew before is less available. She is keeping herself alive and awake." -- Ohhhhhh! Yes. Yes to this.

I woke up to panic and fear and wanting to hide in my house. Right now the only thing keeping me from losing it, is the building I live and work in because I have 4 more years on my lease. I needed something to set me back down on my heels ready take on the fight again. Thank you for providing the reality I can look forward to after all the chaos calms down.

I cannot say I feel the same as I cannot know how you feel, but I feel similar. My soul has stretch marks. It is forever giving birth.
