> Yes I can recall having this sentiment (the belief in life one) but it seems so far away now.
*** I know it seems far away, but remember that it *exists*
> I think the not knowing how hard is about as scary as the not knowing how long. Right now I just don't feel that I'm up to it.
*** Unfortunately, I know that feeling, too. Borrow strength from anyone willing to lend it to you - your therapist, your family, your friends, us. You can pay it forward sometime later.
> My T suggested that I take some time off work now since I have so many work related anxieties, but she didn't push it as hard as she has in the past. I think she knows my family needs my income and she's probably astute enough to realize that it wouldn't help since so many of my present anxieties are about not getting my work done or losing clients or not being productive. Before I started really careening down hill her focus was to find ways for me to get my work done. Besides, I'm equally as capable these days of feeling anxious at home too.
*** Taking time off from work has real plusses and minuses. If you will be anxious at home, too, then keep working. There is a real cost to stopping work, particularly for us "high-functioning" types. I would only recommend it if you *can't* work, or if you feel much better if you don't.

*** I'm always looking for a good excuse. We could meet someplace a little west of the capital. Let me know when you feel a heat wave coming on.(((Mair)))
