Sorry to hear you are suffering. I'm starting to think we just don't recover or if you do it's few and far between. Sick of it 


Dear @Doctorsrcrap

 

Thank you for responding 🥰 I believe we all do recover but unfortunately not as quickly as we’d like to. And since I’ve found myself in this “predicament” for the past 6 1/2 years there have been many moments of utter despair - last week being one of them.

 

Don’t give up hope - we’ll get there yet 👍

 

Sending you healing vibes

PS Love your name!
