[QUOTE="Star*, post: 440053, member: 4964"] COnsidering all that you have had going on in your life in just the last few MONTHS? This is not a surprise to me. There is no replacement for you - And I told you that in a post not too long ago....What would YOUR family do if there was NO YOU? It's a lot for you to consider but it's a great deal MORE for YOU to consider. My therapist told me years ago to think about life and stress in a very simple way. He said - you are 38 years old now. IF you were to live to twice the age you are now - WHAT have you done with your life thus far? And considering that MOST of your youth is behind you? WHAT do you think you would do with the next 38 years because you're health does not necessarily improve - it starts to slightly decline - and you start to loose mobility and the ability to bend, stoop, climb, move - little by little every year - so if your DID live until you were 76 ----HOW do you plan to live the next 38 years?? Like the first 38 - OR BETTER? From that point on Mom20ddson - I chose to live them better - ever minute - With as little stress from every single outside source that I can not control as possible. Kids, family, co-workers, jobs - not having jobs, bill, money - lack of money, people, things, not having things - whatever it is - if it is going to be a stressful thing? It's can have about ( ) much of MY time - and then it's basket B. and move on. I found my voice, I found my boundaries, and I try to be a good and decent person. My blood pressure came down out of the rafters, my migraines are a LOT fewer, my weight has dropped from nearly 300 lbs to about 160 something (give or take lol) and I do what I can do about what I can do - and the rest I just give to God bceause It does me ABSOLUTELY no better or worse to worry about something and the proof is in not worring about it and waiting and then looking at it and going - HUH- had I worried it wouldn't have changed it a bit - and look - I didn't worry and Voila - nothing changed anyway.
