    Hi Shadow! The first few days are the toughest. The most important thing is that you are trying and that you started posting here! We have all "been there..done that" and it really does help to know that you are not alone! Good luck!!!!

      Good morning shadow
      Don't know if you're working today but when I started I just basically stayed in bed and read MWO all day. Drank peppermint tea and toast and watched Netflix.
      Treated myself as though I am sick ...which I was...am.

      Please stay close. We are all here

        Hi Shadow,
        I agree with Kradle, if at all possible, treat yourself as though you have the flu, stay in bed, drink lots of liquids, stay warm and comfortable. The stress and panic will subside as the day wears on. I know it seems so difficult now, but it really will get easier, I promise! You ARE strong, stronger than you realize. Have faith in yourself that you can do this. Please keep us posted on how you're doing ok?

                      I know! That's just how I felt too hun. I think it's cause I've been so down on myself for so long, I forgot how to love me. There are some great people here who are teaching me how to love myself & nurture me again. :h :welcome: :l
