Thank ALL of you for such wonderful help and support. It is nice to know that so many of you have dealt and are willing to help me deal with this. I don't want to give up my bike riding because I know I enjoy it; I just have to find some way to "let" myself enjoy it again. I'll try and keep you posted on how things turn out.

Thanks so much again. This is such a wonderful site.

I guess the short of the wind above is: find something that helps give your life a new purpose for "being" .

EDIT: Lastly... after a while, you might find that those old "work" things NOW, like the bike and spin, somehow become new again after a break. FWIW... maybe a bit of hope.
The thought about "usual life" is something I never thought about before.
