Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 thanks gina!! i just talked to my boss and she agreed that it was time to pack up my desk. i have not been at work full time in a year now, plus no one will be there after feburary anyway. i think i may be going into a flare. i have felt horrible ( of coarse the weather is killing me!!) for about 3 days now, i spent most of the day in bed yesterday and didn't get up until 10 am today. this is not me!!!! kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 thanks heidi, i usually don't think about it either. but then to think back, he had it all planned. thats why we went on the carraige ride and had such a nice holiday that year. it is hard to understand why. i believe the stresses put on me by him. it has really played a big part of my health. i am going out tomorrow and getting the slim fast. i don't feel good about myself and i know it won't be big improvements on my health i think it will help me. i needed the patch to stop smoking and i need a little boost for this too. i need to rediscover what my life will be. i kinda feel like i don't fit in anywhere. don't fit in the work crowd and too young for the senior groups!!! kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Kathy, I know what you mean about giving up smoking! Not an easy task - I have set the 15th January to give up but am not looking forward to it at all, even though I know how bad it is. I hope the patches help you. Have you been for therapy to get over your husband's death and help deal with what you are going through now? I am not advocating anything here but after my mom died I went through 2 years therapy with a wonderful psychologist and I can honestly say it helped enormously - there are just too many issues to deal with on your own after something like that. I am sure that these things can affect your health. I hope that you find some happiness and don't forget you definitely fit in here and we are from all the age groups that you can find!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 You're not babbling, Kathy. I hope you do find yourself. Most, if not all, of us can relate to the need to do that. Maybe I should be watching more Oprah and less CNN. I like her journaling suggestions - writing is great therapy. Good luck!
