If you have been following me for any length of time, you probably noticed I disappear for short periods of time. It's my way of balancing the chaos that often takes hold of my life and shakes it like a snowglobe. I'm not complaining. I'm used to holding on and riding it out.
Most of the people I have met or know personally have seen some dramatic changes over the last five years. People dying, mental stress, and physical health issues will do that to a person. I was also diagnosed with Parkinson's aggravated by sleep deprivation, anxiety disorder, and PTSD in March.
Don't start with the “Oh my, I'm so sorry” routine. It could be so much worse. It could have been ALS, MS, or any number of other terminal things so don't be sorry. If anything, I'm thankful for all the lessons I've been learning while navigating through this neurological nightmare. I've always had to be in control. Now it's my turn to be my body's bitch, lol. Do I like it? no...am I learning acceptance? Yes.
There are days when depression and lack of motivation literally kick my ass, but I know if I give up, I will lose everything. I'm not ready for that yet. It really is a struggle when you begin to see what depression does to your body and mind, but you can't let it get the best of you. Especially when you have people in your life that are hoping you fail. I'm too stubborn to give up or give in.
For exhausted as I am some days, I can't stop moving forward. I've got to keep working on the things that are important to me. Take this journey with me. We'll learn the lessons together and have a few laughs too.
