"Suffering is wanting things to be different than they are."
- by: I have no idea, so how about Anonymous.
Knowing that definition doesn't actually make me feel better, but it does seem to shift my thinking quite a bit.

After over five years of being heavily medicated for my bipolar illness, I am just crazy enough to go off the meds and try to conceive. With a whole team of professionals monitoring my progress and an amazingly compassionate husband to catch me when I fall, I am ready to start trying to get pregnant. This is my journey through the insane process...

Might as well exercise to keep your mind off the suffering.
And to continue:
Suffering is knowing things can't change no matter how much you want them to.
And also:
Suffering is finding out later everything could've changed, if, if, if someone had done things different the first time.
Or we could just say Should've Could've Would've Didn't Fuck it, Too late, Never mind, Pass the beer!
Is the entire blogosphere philosophical tonight?
Sounds like your 'down'...that sucks.
Sending you a (((((HUG)))))
I want a LOT of things to be different than they are. I'm not very good at Zen acceptance and imperterbability.
I get real perturbed about pain. I hate war and especially children being killed, I'm worried about the polar bears and global warming, and I don't like my knees and hips to hurt. I could go on, suffer suffer. LOL!
Hang in there, and like Barbara said... "Might as well exercise..."
I like your way of thinking and enjoy reading your posts. Mind if I include a link to your site through mine?
Here's another comment to exercise to.
