It's been a whirlwind few months, culminating in my recent diagnosis of fibromyalgia and my decision to take a leave of absence from school while I get things figured out and under control. I'm torn between relief that I can now rest and relax and guilt that I'm "giving up" on my goal/dream of becoming a social worker.
I've never been a particularly balanced person (haha). I've usually floated from one extreme to another, and in the past few years I've been running and going like crazy between work, school, and a dozen other things. Now I'm forced to slow down and prioritize, but I fear that I have and will continue to go too far. I still want to engage with the community, find ways to serve other people, make friends and spend time with old friends. So how do I find the balance between doing too much and becoming a home-bound bum?
