Hello and thanks for sharing your experiences. I would also like to apologize for not replying to your post earlier.I have no excuse. Sometimes I become so enveloped by the day to day responsibilities of my life; sometimes I become so exhausted from caring for my Mom who’s an octogenarian; sometimes I succumb to depression and my way of coping is withdrawing.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to post some encouraging words. It is reassuring to know that I’m not the only person who has been suffering through this issue.

I hope you are well and wish only the best for you. Thanks again.
