I’d have to disagree.

You are probably so far from shut down- you are incredibly tuned in. To the needs of your family, concentrating hard on being there for your immediate loved and dear ones. Paying attention to the home front with little left over for anything else.

It’s called surviving. We all do it.

Good for you.

I do the same “shut down” thing. I’m so sorry he’s been poorly. Husbandito gets wicked migraines also but I can’t imagine the PSS ones. Sweet clogs he’s got on there. No neon green left in the store?

take care. I’ll be thinking about youse guys.

Jod- just take care of your family. To hell with anyone who doesn’t understand what you need at this moment.
I’ve been through exactly the same mode… and decided it was time to ‘clear my plate’ of people who made me feel guilty for not being able to give what they expected.
Take care of you and yours.
They’re the ones that matter in the end anyway.

Shutting down is just fine. You know what is best for you and your family at any given time, and any real friend will support you in your decisions.

Much love,

Karen

Well, I think that’s the way it should be. (After God), your husband comes first. I’m glad he is feeling better now and hope he continues to do so.

As far as I’ve been able to tell, February is just a sucky month all around. Here’s to taking care of one’s OWN self and family FIRST, LAST, and EVERY DAY in between. Praying for you and yours over here.

Praying for you and your precious ones Jody. Leave that sign up for as long as you need. We’ll be here when you’re done. What kind of friends would we be if we weren’t?

I’m so sorry to hear that Bill hasn’t been feeling well. Does it happen often? I will pray that he feels great most of the time. As a person with a chronic illness I understand not feeling well…

I am the “queen” of shut down mode, you know that! I will keep you guys in my prayers, and please not try to worry what others think. As I have told you before, those who love you understand.

I will ask St. Andrew Avellino’s intercession for Billy’s continued healing and peace of mind for you. Love you guys.
