So, the physical therapist asked me a question yesterday...

[Wishful-Thinking]

6. I have both sympathy and empathy for your situation

Just sold my small business of the last 20+ years and in my 70’s. Had a car accident last year and they are still trying to talk me into rotator cuff surgery of left shoulder due to the accident, while right shoulder is already weak and painful from arthritis. With the depression and anxiety that have set in due to PTSD from accident, pandemic, unfettered global climate havoc, unfathomable political climate, lost savings with retirement account due to economic situation, and reluctance to travel for all the reasons, I’m feeling overwhelmed with malaise** as well. From reading the definition of malaise below, I can see that the disjointed few hours of sleep I’m getting is likely part of the cause.

Agreed we need a discussion/support group on DU to talk ourselves out of this.

“**Malaise”
Also called: General discomfort
Main Results:

A general sense of being unwell, often accompanied by fatigue, diffuse pain, or lack of interest in activities.

COMMON CAUSES
Malaise can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include eating too much, drinking too much, inadequate sleep, feeling sad, missing normal exercise routine, or caffeine withdrawal.
