[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 607637, member: 13542"] CB, be kind to yourself. Stress is all over your life, you just moved...........and into a one bedroom with a teenage girl.....anyone who lives with a teenage girl in my humble opinion deserves to get the Nobel Peace Prize. You have a new boss who is demanding a lot of you and you are now forced weekly to do tasks which bring you anxiety. Your ex is being a &*%$# and essentially abandoning your son so you now will be in a one bedroom with two kids.....................plus you have loads of empathy for your son who was happy where he was and now he has to deal with moving AND being thrown overboard by his Dad. You have money issues and that makes any of us feel STUCK which feels just awful. CB, anyone with all of that on their plate would have serious anxiety and fears, worries, all of it. Clearly you need a physical and some help with your medications, but I also believe it is very helpful to see the reality of your situation, there are major stressors in your life and yes it is really hard, but you ARE dealing with all of it, everyday, all day, you are facing your fears, facing your days and showing up. If you don't acknowledge that, you will be focusing only on what isn't working, rather then how well you're doing under some pretty extraordinarily insane circumstances. Stop for one moment and acknowledge yourself. You are doing it!! And, I know from my rather loopy life, sometimes that's as good as it gets! And, you've managed under all of this 'stuff' to lose weight!! So, there you have it, just switch your perception a tiny bit and you end up being a powerful woman, dealing with a full plate quite successfully and all the while looking good! [/QUOTE]
