It's funny because over the weekend I was feeling just like this. It's so hard not to get down and just feel over dealing with everything that comes with the D sometimes.

I think sometimes a bad attitude can spark a change in our behavior and thinking if we let it. Maybe journaling more and more about that bad attitude will give us both some ideas on how to deal with being sick & tired of being sick & tired.<br /><br />(@WEGOSarah)Sarahhttp://www.Sarahndipitea.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-77544395935142543622010-06-06T20:37:30.199-04:002010-06-06T20:37:30.199-04:00You are so not alone in feeling this way.
