Hi, Soul,

Thank you so much for your heartfelt note.  You are exactly right.  I'm still not out of the woods, but I'm fighting and moving forward.

God bless you.

@purpleTree4652

Would be exactly the words I'd use. I actually came here to write them somewhere and suddenly I see your post.

That would be my toughest challenge too.

Being hotheaded. Stubborn.

My most memorable life challenge has been my 3 year illness + my learning disabilities affecting me throughout and not being able to navigate life because of it, not even the simplest of things at times, + the side effects during the treatment and medication and also the side effects which are residual which may take years to go, some are to stay. The medication and treatment messed with my brain a bit so it was hard and tough, and it is still there a bit, but not much

I had seviour lymphnode infection and because of the medicines I got peripheral neuropathy also.

Recently, I shifted to a new city and got married, so the home environment changed, and here it is a relaxed and supportive environment, it was like a required big break for me. I still have issues both mental and physical but now it is in a relaxed and supportive environment, so, so far it has been smooth.

I hope everyone who is going through something, gets ten fold strength, positivity, optimism, and goodness throughout

Finding a balance in life with having multiple health and mental conditions. Sometimes I am okay, and sometimes I am not well. It's a struggle but I am making a daily routine for me that is not overwhelming, reaching out to people and helping others. Helping others does bring me joy and uplifts me.

OR

My underlying unknown bipolar 1

Finding meaning and/or joy in everyday life. I've been struggling with finding something to pursue everyday to keep me going positively. I'm hoping someday I'll find something that'll achieve that drive.
