[QUOTE="WearyWoman, post: 413669"] Hound dog - Thanks. While the situations this time don't have to do with my difficult children, having difficult children allows for less stress tolerance in general. I have had a lot of bad things happen to me in my life, and I find that because of that, I'm always in the "waiting for the other shoe to drop" mode. And then, it does, and the trauma continues, it seems. I could use a break from the relentless bad stuff - at least the big stuff, anyway. I would love to have someone to talk to about it. Star - The three things that I'm dealing with right now are my job (may lose it due to organizational cuts), a coworker (undermining me negatively at work), and betrayal by a family member (has created a LOT of humiliation and shame for me). My self esteem is in the gutter, and the depression has really set in. I also have anxiety, and I've spent a good deal of my life living with fear and worry (my screen name could as easily be Worry Woman). I pray a lot, and that seems to help. HaoZi and KTMom - Thanks. I know the folks around this forum are well acquainted with difficulties. That probably makes us more compassionate toward others, though. [/QUOTE]
