6. The cluster of losses can be tough

especially when a person is dealing with many issues.

One thing that helped me when I was overwhelmed was remembering something a mentor had once told me. He said that we all have unconscious priorities and that it can help to uncover what one’s priority is. It helped me figure out that I my number 1 priority a certain health issue (I had many, plus financial and other issues). I was able then to fight to get a surgery I needed which was being denied to me. After the surgery I was better able to address other issues I am still working on.

Incidentally, I notice that you say you may be very needy. I think that being able to consider that strength and an ability to empathize with the people around you.

On the election: I am in a swing state and I can feel the momentum for Kamala continue to build. People here seem to be really coming together to win.
I appreciate your sharing. It really helps people such as myself. Thank you and let us know how things go.
