Thanks for your reply. My stress is temporary. Hubby just lost his

job, the

kids are off from school and bickering and I'm coming off a

progesterone

overdose, thanks to my Gynies negligent med asst. I handle it by

going to the

gym and working out my stress, taking walks, going to support group

meetings and,

of course, posting on OSSG.

Nothing is really a big deal, but sometimes a lot of little things

hit at once.

It gets compounded by insomnia. Luckily I finally slept last night

and I feel

HAPPY today. Amazing what a good night's rest can do!

Smiles,

Vicki A.
