And if we are in situations where we are unhappy, the power of choice to change is ours. We can change how we react to whiney people, at home and at work. We can change what our expectations are. We can change our health care treatment so we can be more comfortable while our bodies go through puberty in reverse - egad!
I just don't want you to think that you're powerless to initiate change, AdaGrace. You're in an excellent place in your life - awkward teenage years behind you; you became a wife and a mother, and you have years of experience at work. These are positive and good things, things that you build your next step in life upon.
That next step can be a little one, or lots of little ones, or a giant one. Personally, I need a lot of support to make these changes. Medical help from my ob/gyn, my p-doc, my therapist. Spiritual help from the gazzilion books and magazines I read. Emotional support from my friends here at babble.
Just don't believe that you are stuck: stuck at home, stuck at work, stuck sweating to your sheets. Feeling stuck is a sign that you are ready to make a change, somehow.
Glad to see you back here, AdaGrace.
