It all makes sense.  I knew I was becoming messed up again, but it is different this time and I didn't recognize certain key components to why I feel taken down so hard.  I mean I think I knew but I think it just got validated hearing others go thru it.

 

My biggest fear, is that I'm not a young chickie anymore and am not as mentally and physically fit to take on anymore challenges to become a better person.  I'll be dead before I get there though if I can't overcome this. Know what I'm sayin'?

 

Thanks for the video and thoughtfulness to send it out and help us all.
