I feel like everything is going to fall apart because I just can't keep up with it all (even though again, I can work as the doctor said I would be able to. But he doesn't realize that work is not LIFE) I have a huge amount of stress in my life that I can't make go away. The combination of stress, MG and working is just too much!.

Thinking of disability makes me sad, I don't feel good about having other people help me, I want to be able to take care of myself. I keep trying to think of other ways I can contribute.

I feel so bad about myself right now.

But I am trying to make it all better, or at least tolerable... I want to do more than just be alive, I want to LIVE! I think I can have a happy life if I remove one of the three energy-stealers from my life...the stress is not going away, MG is not going away...but maybe work can. Need to think on this subject more.
