How would you describe how you feel?
I feel Raw. Like Lions have been batting me around relentlessly my whole life but never completely killing me.

I’d describe it as more as a drowning, like everything is on top of you and you have to keep kicking your feet to keep above it, it’s exhausting but it’s better than the alternative of going under

@GLITTER I can understand that too . Thank you for your description.

@GLITTER That’s exactly how mine feels…like drowning. Some days are easier than others, but I’ve never felt any better than clinging to driftwood that invariably disintegrates at some point leaving me to tread water on my own or go back to drowning.

@Zaphod42 I’ve learnt to master sitting on the driftwood! It took a lot of personal pushing to get me up though 😊
