Oh, Heather...I understand. I'm going through similar issues. I've always been in charge...retail management, single parent, etc., never allowing myself to show any weaknesses, and it has so caught up with me! Since Hubby and I got married, I've had carpal tunnel (and am permanently partially disabled), been hit by a car while crossing the street, broken my leg, had knee surgery, asthma so far out of control I ended up on way too much prednisone and put on close to 100 pounds, pneumonia several times...I hate being sick, I hate being fat, I hate that my body aches all the time, I hate being out of control, and I hate being me right now. I don't do the acceptance thing very well either. Thank you all for your words of wisdom. Lots of hugs to you, Heather.
