I have been out of work since Jan. First of all I'd been living on savings, so it's been alright. I've carefully planned things, and to be honest, I finally got some housing assistance. I'm not going to be ashamed because I have worked hard ever since I had kids. I've lived in homeless shelters because my undiagnosed BP affected my judgement and choices. I have lost (quit) jobs because of the way my emotions have messed with me. Unfortunately I've gotten a reputation for just being emotionally stupid, a basket case, a train wreck..whatever I've been called them all.
My son as Asperger's. Which basically means he throws severe tantrums every single day.My 12 year old daughter just got out of a 2 week stay at a hospital for being bp. I cried every time I visted her....because these were the people that told me I did the right thing. They complimented me on my parenting decision....I have no one in my life that is good to me like that.
I did go on a job interview this week. They put me through the ringer. I think that they called my boss and basically found out about my moods. I'm glad I didn't get it ...but still am so afraid that this will follow me the rest of my life.
Could really use a friend.:)

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...

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...
