One of the the things I've struggled with the most during all this is giving things up. Before my diagnosis, I was heavily involved with Abigail's senior class Safe & Sober Committee and J.T.'s 8th grade class trip/dance fundraising.
I've had to step back a little from helping on these committees and it's so hard for me. If you know me well, you know that I am not a flake. I follow through on what I say I'm going to do. By having to step back, I feel like I'm being a flake. Even though everyone tells me, I need to take care of myself, and not worry about these committees, I still struggle.
For Safe & Sober, the committee is feverishly getting things together and I feel helpless. I want to help and there's a limited amount I can do, without wearing myself out. It makes me sad that I'm missing out on a lot of this final process.
I know there's not a lot that I can do about this situation, but it's still very frustrating.
