oh.. I SO completely relate to this. I could have typed it out myself.

I can relate too. I am not at work today because the overwhelming stress has shut me down. I have lost jobs before relating to this, plus all of life's other challenges. Now I'm think the money may not be worth the stress. Maybe I am more ill than I realized and should just get on disability, heal myself, and go from there. Are you on meds? I'm still trying to get there. My insurance stinks.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
