A Change Of Life.

[sandyRoe]

A couple of years ago I was walking Camino trails in Spain.
The longest of them was a path from Sevilla to Santiago. It was just over 1000 km and took me about 40 days.
Now, in my mid 70s, I walk a mile to a local supermarket and am so tired I need to get a taxi home.
There was little else in my life apart from the planning and walking those routes in Spain. Now I sit staring at 4 walls in a state of very deep depression.
I know that I'll not be doing any more long walks. How can I come to accept my present situation?

Don't feel bad about missing the appointment.

There are many types of logic in the world - 'cat logic' and 'addiction logic' are only two. It seems sensible in your head to have a couple of drinks or whatever. It would be like trying to have a sensible conversation with me when I am manic.

Try and make another appointment. The person wants to help you and you have nothing to fear from them. (coming from the person who is avoiding her psychiatrist!!)

Whatever you do keep in touch, we care.
