Yes, I remember our exchanges, and your good heart. And I also turned down your offer of help, somewhat because you shared that you were okay with only sleeping four hours, if that, and I wasn't. If I sound unkind, I don't mean to, but you don't have debilitating depression--YET. IMHO, it was years of running on my adrenals (I was somewhat a type A person, there wasn't time for all the good things that needed to be done in a day, but I pushed past the point of exhaustion) but I'm sure that and knowing about good health habits made the 5th child and all that surrounded his birth(preceded by job loss, move, mom dying, cat dying within 4 months of his birth, followed by the things after I already mentioned) more than my body could handle. I'm GLAD you can function on that little sleep--I can and have with disastrous results--deep
Depression and loss of the desire to be alive.
So, I, nicknamed WWW(worry wart windy) by the age of 5, would WORRY about you, if I hadn't learned that sigh, I have got to take care of me FIRST to have anything left for my family.
Take care. Oh, actually I did armour thyroid for about a year and a half, and then I guess my "over the head" yoga pose that I do daily, or at least when i walk with my neighbor (even when I was in serious depression) along with kelp, and losing 40 pounds, makes my new doc pretty sure I don't need to be tested.
thanks for yourlove and concern. Please feel free to send a prayer or two my way! I'd certainly appreciate that.
peace and joy
will be coming soon,
