On a good day I think i can do everything all at once and i cant stop my energy flow. on a bad day i want to quit and crawl into a hole never to be seen again. i only work part time but even that i sometimes want to stay home and be quiet with my TV... I usually wake at night wanting to drive places but i need to work to have money to do this...i want to change my life around but dont know how to do this yet... arrrrrrrrrgh... patience i have NOT...looking for something to make me feel good... cant seem to find it... on edge more and more...feel like cutting myself to take the edge off... my partner used to put me to sleep by bitting my back and only then did i sleep...i guess that is all for now... and yet I have fly by thoughts... unworthy...

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

Have you seen a pdoc? Are you on any meds?

BTW... I cut too... in moments of rage.

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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
