Sometimes I just lie awake at night, my twitching legs preventing me sleeping ( as now ) and just think.. Can I tolerate 30 plus more years of this?
It’s a long time -from 18 til now, for me.
Another life, but spent paralysed.

I think of my children to distract me from darker thoughts, but the technique doesn’t always work, leaving me just lying here, more than a little bit down.

Sometimes I have online chats with friends living on the other side of the world, where it’s daytime.
Thanks particularly to Arti, for so often being there.
