Good morning to all...Happy March 1st. I realized it was March at the end of this thread so posted it twice. That is why I named this thread with Madness.
SD, I think I get your blizzard tomorrow and Saturday...lucky me. Oh, well, I will sit by the fire and read. It's kind of nice to have school cancelled ahead of time, to relax in the morning, get food in and just hibernate.
LBH, how scary about your doggie, great to hear it all worked out. I appreciated your description of imagining yourself AF and healthy, then following through. Getting through an entire month AF is a great accomplishment. After having spent time with my parent, I relived some of the feelings of not being good enough, anxiety and tension, and attempting to please someone who cannot be pleased. Something like your past, and it does engender feelings of unworthiness and wanting to stop the painful feelings at least for a while. I was actually content to be back at work in my self-created world, rather than feeling so uneasy, on edge.
Blonde, the licensed counselor sounds as if she has worked hard to obtain lots of skills/options for her clients. Hope she is a good fit.
Lav, isn't it crazy that young people have access to weapons and use them on their peers? I heard on the radio that he shot at people randomly, totally out of reality. There are so many lonely hurting young people, it is a tragedy.
I had a great day back at work, feeling refreshed and renewed, loving the structure and routine. I like to work, cannot imagine staying at home at this particular time in my life. We'll see how I feel next week, right? The vacation did what it was supposed to do, getting away was really good for me, and five days is just about right for me. The juicing is going well, I was hungry, but guzzled water, and feel so sensitive to smells, weather, and realize that going without is good for a time. To all, have a great Thursday. Oh, no, I just realized it is March!!
