Is ever going to be okay. I went through cancer treatment a year ago and now there is all this.

I feel like I have to compartmentalize to remain somewhat sane. Like I worry for a certain time, then I daydream about a happier future, for the rest of the time.

Sometimes I tell myself, well, my DH and I are safe, for now. It feels like survival mode.
