Told you I’d be back with more questions, seems now that I’m realize there will be no magic fix or cure to these issues that make every day somewhat of a challenge I’m having a hard time getting accustomed to the new normal. I know I should just take the cards dealt me and play my hand. I know I should stop whining, it could be a lot worse (just look at some of the other groups in the forum), but every time I look into the future and see what it has now become or when I try to do something and I realize that I have now lost part or all of that skill, down the drain I go. Are these feelings of self-pity normal, do they pass with time, do you have any suggestions or insights on how to deal with them. I spent most of my life living by the military saying of adapt, overcome and preserve, always seemed to serve me well. Now I can’t even get to adapt on some days. I was always the bull in the china store, now I won’t go near the china store due to being afraid I’ll trip and fall and bust everything. Is the answer to stop whining, play the cards and move on or does acceptation come with time?
