So Brian had a lightbulb or an Ah-ha moment and hit on the anxiety I have been feeling. Once that happened, It all came rushing out and the weight of the world was off my shoulders.
Having someone you can talk to is so important and we demonstrate that in this episode.

This week we're going to talk about chronic illness and anxiety.
We often say it goes without saying, however, in my experience, not talking about something isn't always healthy.

Ownership and accountability for decision. Sjogren’s has changed my life, but I'm tired of using it as a crutch to be lazy and make poor decisions. I am done. I'm very excited to see how much better I will feel when I stop using my diagnosis as an excuse.

At the end of the day, especially when you're tired, it can be difficult to make changes to your routine, but I will work on establishing an evening routine to prepare myself for a restful evening. I feel sleeping through the night is one of my biggest challenges.
