The weight of living with chronic illness is getting to me again. Could use some empathy from others who understand and won't pressure me to explain what's going on (a dozen small triggers maybe), turn it into their problems, or tell me it will get better or the worst, "Stay strong."

We've all been here so here's a place where we can sit with each other.

My guitars were part of another life. I had to give up playing in order to continue working and even now I struggle with hand pain and that sort of fine motor control. But thanks for the compliment on my visual pun.
