Wow, this moving thing has been hard. I finally get on a good med and have zero sex drive. I try to wean off, get totally anxious again, and have to go back up to half the dose I was originally on...think I'm ok, decide to go off the BC pill and think about having a family and BAM...lose my job at an upstart company because they are having trouble getting off the ground. It's been a tough year. I am studying to become a personal trainer with hopes to get into nutrition therapy but this has thrown a loop hole into things a little.
I feel down. I think I may need to up my meds again but don't want to. My fingers are bleeding from picking at them nervously,.,,I hate this. I went from a great career with a great income to nothing...I do want to change my field but it is SO hard.
I feel lost. I don't know what I am expecting from posting my feelings but I really needed to get them out.

In reply to lost my job..., posted by beatrix34 on October 5, 2004, at 20:05:23
sorry you lost your job.
you have had a tough year and you have a lot on your plate! unemployment is especially tough.
dear one if you are picking your fingers and injuring yourself it is a sign that you need to take good care of you. whatever it takes. i can understand why you would not want to up your meds, but please think seriously about strategies you can use to cope during this very stressful time. you might need the meds.
if you can take a week or two off to get your thoughts together, i recommend it. sorry, job hunting is so tough. but with all the change going on you might need some time to think about the big picture, relax, settle your mind if you can. i'm big on the hippie yoga and nature and journalling crap but that might not work for you. if you think it might, though, it might be worth a try.
so sorry. good luck. sending good vibes your way. ******vibes*********

Thanks for your post, and good vibes. I think I am going to up my meds. I do indeed need the help. I am also big on journaling, and I love yoga, usually do ashtanga but figure maybe some hatha would probably be good for me right now. Thanks for bringing these 2 great tools to the forefront for me.
I'm going to take it day by day and see how it goes. My husband doesn't want me to look for a job, he wants me to focus on my studies, He's probably got the right idea.
Again, thank you for your kind words.
Bea
