[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 98947"] Thank you for the support, ladies. You guys always come through. [img]:flower:[/img] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What became very clear was that I was only valuing myself for what I could do, not for who I was. I couldn't see that there are people in this world who value me just for being me. Everything about me had been tied up in my job, and with that gone, what did I have left? I didn't even feel I could be a parent properly, I had no energy and no strength. I also felt (with the Workers Comp position of scepticism) that nobody believed that I was really ill, that people thought I was bunging it on, a bludger. Faking it to be lazy, if you need that translated. </div></div> Marg, this is exactly what I've been feeling/thinking. I'm working on it. It's a process, I guess. I've been having a hard time today. I had this house built almost 6 years ago. I have picked out everything that is in the house...from the siding to the light fixtures and everything in between. It's truly mine. My kitchen sink is in the corner with a window on either side. It doesn't have a wonderful view or anything...I look out on my neighbors back yards...but I spent a lot of time today just standing there looking out. Sigh... [/QUOTE]
