than worrying about not being able to sleep
than worrying about 80 other damn things where i can't sleep..
so i've been up since 4...damn it
I think I'm am falling back to sleep, only to realize my mind is already "up" and doing things. Sometimes I have done my whole day's work in my mind before I realize that I am now WIDE awake.
Just tough all over for a lot of people as you know. Trying to take everything in stride until my head is clearer.
Hopefully after the holidays things will get better.
someone must have just dropped one somewhere just now
It's both good and sad. I have great family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. All are very supportive. And it's very touching to see all the concern and help that people provide during tough times.
Very humbling to say the least. I'm not sure why, but this year seems to be even more difficult than last year.
It comes and goes and I seem to be getting a handle on things but it really does suck when you go to that certain dark place even if it is for only a few moments.
But generally I have the holiday spirit and am in a decent mood.
You, Nick and many of us know what this time of year can bring out on the sad side of things. It's just balancing them that helps you get back to enjoying it like you used to.
I had the perfect mix of emotions while celebrating Christmas on Amy's side of the family yesterday. Happy, sad, grateful and optimistic all within a few enjoyable hours together. I hope that's how it will be with my side as well.
Hope those dark moments aren't too long or too deep.
Hope the happy, grateful and optimistic moments bring you some peace of mind.
It's healthy that you can talk about it anyway.
Cluey - I mention this for one key reason - I went into a serious funk right out of college, and joining the local "Y" focused a lot of stress away from myself and really helped. I dunno what you have for an exercise plan, but a little sweat can help exORcise a lot of demons. Keep busy!
I just don't want to come across as desperate or needy.
You guys are an inexpensive form of therapy that just happens to be more effective than my counselor. plus I don't have to wait for 3 weeks to get in to see you guys. :smile:
I will try to see if I can get Health Partners to cover the CC mental health unit
Probably the best deal in town. No way will they cover it!
I agree MD. I haven't been to rehab since I started my new job. That was always a nice way to work off the stress of the day. I have a friend who wants to excersize and have been trying to work it out to work out together. Each set out for our own goals. It's always better if you have another person as a motivating factor or you could easily let things slip.
I remember when I had to go to the gym in order for my insurance company to pay for my therapy after a car accident I had. I would be forced to go there after work even if that meant going after the bar. I can't count how many times I did my work out while buzzed.
It sucked but boy did I look good. :smile:
Gold's Gym in Wdby has one gymnasium - and the guys told me when it was built they sheetrocked the walls with no reinforcement. They've had to patch a couple holes already from errant shoulders. Dodgeball would be out of the question or the gym would look like moon craters everywhere.
BTW - Workouts while buzzed is kinda fun sometimes - but you don't always know when to say when. I was benched from pickup basketball game and had no idea why until I saw my face in the mirror - it was beet red - I looked like the ass end of a fire engine.

Another Irritates:
Getting hit up by classmates to start plans for the 20th H.S. reunion after almost singlehandedly doing the 15th. Someone else's turn, dammit.
Sounds like it will be easier this time around - about 1/3 of the Class is in Facebook and already gossiping.
One of the great myths is that the first year is the hardest.
Many people find, as they look back, that they were pretty numb the first year. So all those "firsts" were awful, but then the numbness wears off and it is like year two is all about having those "firsts" again, only not so numb this time.
If you can hang on to the knowledge that it will get better, that will help.
Even when I wasn't sure I *wanted* it to get better, I chose to believe what my grief counselor told us - that it would take as long as it takes, and that one day we would come THROUGH it.
Looking forward to Saturday - I think a group hug is in order.
here's to the future.
good luck getting to Santa on time.
At least there's a long weekend to clean up the mess, and we don't have any guests over to witness this catastrophe... :wink:
The notion of Peace is not dead. I humbly offer a link to a song performance that really hit me hard the first time I saw it... take a breather from whatever you're doing today and listen to the words... Happy Holidays, everyone.

A simple early new years resolution, I'm going to do my best to not complain about anything from here on.
Ahh contrair, you deserve all of it!
Smelling your own employment termination coming soon...
11:04 and the Flames scoring to make it 2-1. Stupid game. :angry:
A major contract player at our plants is parts for automotive manufacturing, and everybody knows they are in deep doo-doo. Supposedly they re-start production at a lot of auto plants in the next month or two and orders should start coming in - but we have to be pro-active and cut back now before we really get in a pinch.
My part of the shop has nothing to do with automotive directly - but they cut our only CSR leaving us with just one sales rep to generate jobs. I'm still not confident.
