-and I'll tell you something about that. I have a dear friend who has been miserable for every one of the 9 years I've known her but refuses to do anything to try to make her life better. She's seen me face many disappointments and on more than one occasion sighed how now I must understand why she just wasn't ready to take that step yet because this could happen or that.
Nope. I'm afraid if I'm miserable I have to do something. Again, that's why I've kept plugging away at the med combos. I have lived among family members who rather than admit they needed help accepted being miserable as their lot in life. It's part of my family heritage---one of our most honored traditions. In fact maybe this is evil-minded, (of course it is) but sometimes what keeps me going is the thought I get that - yeah, you'd like for me to give up, wouldn't you? Well, I'm gonna be the last one standing.
I'll keep taking my 9 pills a day that are working so nicely, and if I fall down in the mud...I'll be really ticced. But I'll deal with it.
