For most of the day I felt like I was close to having a nervous breakdown. I was able to go in to see my counselor this afternoon and it helped to be able to talk about all the stressors in my life and be able to just cry and get it out. Mentally I feel a lot better already, also it feels good to not be a slave to my Facebook account anymore. I want to eventually go back and be able to keep in touch with relatives and old co-workers and old friends. But for now, I don’t need or want it in my life. Physically, my stomach and back have been killing me for awhile now. I don’t know what’s causing it, I hope it is just the stress. I took a 45 minute long hot bath and then had a heating pad on my stomach for 30 minutes. It has helped a little.
This one is worth repeating on the blog. I love this quote.
I am so glad tomorrow is Friday, I am definitely ready for this work week to be over, it’s been a crazy one. Not sure what our plans are for tomorrow night yet, I have a psychiatrist’s appointment after work but that’s it. Saturday, we have nothing that needs to be done. Might try to do something nice together if the weather isn’t too crappy. Sunday, we have my husband’s parents visiting and then in the evening we are having dinner with my family at my brother’s house.
I think I have finally found the person that I am suppose to help, I have been emailing back and forth with a young lady, a bit younger than me who is considering weight loss surgery, but isn’t sure where to start. It honestly brightened my day when she posted on her own blog that she was going to start to try going on her own journey with the help of what she considers her new found friend. I hope I can help her on her journey whether or not she has surgery. If you are reading this, you have turned my week around drastically, thank you!

It’s soo cool to me that you have made such a connection with a gal that is considering WLS. You were saying that your body hurts..Yes stress can do funky things to our bodies I am learning from my doctor. Just like I didn’t know depression can make our bodies hurt as well. Keep on doing what you are doing! Cry Scream Yell at your appointment. If that’s what gets ya where you need to be…Go For it baby!
