Wow, I'd never heard that saying before:
"Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles...It empties today of its strengths."
It's so true. I think back to the three-plus weeks that I was PANICKED about my symptoms. Worrying definitely emptied me of my strength. I've been twitching for almost two months, and I'm still struggling with worrisome thoughts from time to time. I'm not nearly as bad as I was before BFS diagnosis, but it sometimes causes me to wonder...
I also sometimes have guilty feelings, as I have a benign condition that I worry about, and there are so many other folks out there struggling with much more serious illness and disease. I really need to volunteer for something like the "Make a Wish" Foundation. I think something like that would give me a better perspective of how lucky I am...and how much support others need.
Thanks for a great post...I may print that quote and put it up in front of my computer at work.
