Wednesday, November 5, 2008 | A General Update story
I hate feeling depressed like this.....especially when I'm so aware of how happy I want to be. I really need to find what it is that I can do to be content with what I have right now. It's so hard to go from having a great salary to having crap and waiting for retirement disability. I knew it would be a long process, but I think my patience has been tapped out and I'm getting really anxious. I'm worried about Christmas and I know it's about family and cooking and memories, but even those things require some money. I wish I didn't have EDS.

    Yes. I have heard it takes a very long time with many hoops to jump through. All I can suggest is to stay in the present moment as much as possible. Accepting your feelings as they are from moment t moment instead of trying to push them down will eventually bring some relief. The past is gone forever and the future is not here yet. All we ever really have is the now.

    The holiday are about giving to those in need. Maybe it is just your turn to be the one in need and you shouldn't feel bad about it? I bet you were there for others all those strong years of your life. Hey, give yourself a break. Love is free and you are very good at showing love!
