Thanks - I think this week will be my last (HA! Easy to say now - the
panic attacks don;t hit until the weekend!) ea.. somehow - someway I
think I NEED to make myself go back Monday. I am afraid of everything
right now - doing poorly - doing well - seeing my prego friend/coworker
- losing it at work However - I know the best way for me to get over a
fear is to face it head on, I hjust haven;t had the courage.. But ut us
coming. Dr said possible surgery but not for 1 - 3 months to give
healing time. He also gave me Zoloft so I have to think about whether
or not to start taking that...
I know it will be okay soon - Hey "I've hit rock bottom that leaves two
ways to go straight up and sideways." I've been doing the sideways thing
so straight up should be coming soon!
