yeah, no, not being able to help others if you are in trouble is 180º wrong.
i fell for a guy just in time for him to come down w als. it took a while to figure out, and i was in a sketchy place at the time, and i joked that we were the perfect couple. the halt and the lame. that maybe we could lean into each other, each put our good foot forward and trudge on. cuz what else is senior citizen love for?
and 1 more thing- if you are tired, sleep. if you have trouble sleeping, try to fix that. there is no pharmaceutical factory like a good nights sleep. take some melatonin. or a benedryl. get heavier window coverings. figure out what wakes you up. read up on sleep hygiene.
that there was central to my getting on track.
