Thank you, Brynb, for your response. I think that a comment that one of my family members made was a major factor that basically led up to the post that I made at the start of this thread, and it hurts to hear comments like what I heard when what I'd really like more than anything else is to engage in more activities that help others and myself. I will say that after writing what I wrote and reading all of the responses that have come in that even though I think that being dissatisfied with what we're doing could possibly motivate us to do more, being too dissatisfied to the point where we're figuratively beating ourselves up isn't very healthy, either. I also think that a lot of the effort that those of us with illnesses that are more or less "invisible" put in to improve our situations oftentimes doesn't go noticed (especially if the illness is also resistant to treatment), and although I can understand why this is the case, it is indeed frustrating for those of us who are trying to push forward and only going so far.
Anyway, I very much appreciate your response. Take care, and I hope that you too will have a happy and healthy (or at least happier and healthier) new year.
