Go @blondy !
I like seeing how people who have supported me are doing via the forum, but there are many, many threads that I don't even look at now. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I am moving on from the whole mess and don't want to continually revisit the discovery and treatment phase. I like to be able to make people laugh and find the ridiculous in the things that would make you weep otherwise and if I can do that I will, but compassion fatigue is definitely a 'Thing.'
Getting back to work in even a limited capacity has saved my sanity. It's taken a very long time to reach this point. I even find the 40km commute therapeutic--it's a great time to unpack anything that is bothering me and throw it into the back seat, or better still out the window. Mxx
