Sorry for missing yesterdays post. I have had a bit of a busy time this week and last week. I found out last week that I was accepted into a postgraduate programme in Auckland, which started this week. So, although I'm very excited, it's been a bit overwhelming trying to sort everything out in such a short space of time. Sometimes life is just overwhelming, this isn't a symptom of illness, or a sign that things are deeply wrong, it's just life.
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed?
Also if you are interested in reading a bit more about living with chronic illness, from a variety of perspectives, the below link has a range of people's stories. Some of them have found ways of dealing with their illness, and maintaining a positive attitude, while others are at a stage where the illness is completely overwhelming them. I think everyone can remember being at that stage, even if they aren't currently.
Can you relate to these stories? What are your thoughts on them?
