I always take a nap when I feel like that

Ok, I have to see doc tomorrow. The pdoc. He's not going to care. THIS SUCKS!!!!
I hve to get my job search rolling here, I don't have time to wimp out, not now anyway. Maybe later.I'm TERRIFIED of having to look for a job!

Wha's goin on with mah dobes chikah? I get like that too so many days. I just lay down and read or veg. I know you don't have a tv....but I DON'T EVEN turn it on. I just lay there or I go outside and walk or something. It just gets unbearable, I know...your brain is tired, your back, your legs...EVERYTHING! Hon, I just wish I could be there to make you some dinner and make you lay down....let the chihuahua take care of the dobie. You really aren't that far, but I think my husband would notice if I was gone for, oh, 15 hours or so! ;)

I call one of three people and have long three hour talks. It usually starts with me crying or fume-ing (sp?) They don't give advice they just listen and share what's going on in their lives.

You need sleep that knits up the wravelled sleeve of care. Long deep and recuperative it does make a big diff Take care

I am so so sorry to hear you're feeling like this. Pls be good to yrself, don't beat yrself up.

I take it you need to job hunt because of financial reasons. Are you on disability right now? There may be agencies that can assist you w/the job search- rehab for those w/mental health disabilities.

I go through the usual cycle.

Self pity followed by self loathing then pure hate ending finally with a general pissed offness and ranting. Then the cycle starts all over.

I am not going to pretend I know how to counter this as I am going through the same thing. The problem might be one of structure.

When our lives lose structure we eventually feel cast adrift with no idea where the shore is. Dont set your goals too high. Start out with just a little bit of structure.

I will get up at this time. I will look at this many jobs. Etc....

If you try to do or accomplish too much at once you will always feel you have failed yourself.

Dobies are strong but often their smart knots get in the way.

*rubs smart knot*

Now get off your ass and do something other than bitching on this site.

... And as my best friend on ds keeps reminding me... baby steps, dobie, baby steps.

Take care of yourself first, before you burden yourself with job hunting.

Nurture yourself in any way you can right now....

Sounds to me that a time out is in order, maybe you really should take that bath...maybe a nap?

It is ok to say whoa...I need a break for a second every now and then.

I am sorry you are going through this. But I am in that boat right now! For me its a matter time till you bounce back! i hope you have supportive family and friends. Talk to your psych doctor thats another plus. and i understand when you say I have no strength and trust me i know ! take care

Oh Dobie, you are my strength, please don't fall apart now.. my heart hurts with you Might be time to take a break for YOU. What can I do to help? My balance gets out of whack sometimes too. Go back to basics; keep it simple, easy does it, breathe in thru your nose-out thru your mouth. xoxoxo

I hope you did take a nap. I wish we could help you find that job. That is a tough one. My son is in the same boat; but he at least has us. ( He lives at home .) He has trouble keeping a job. Good luck.

I am sorry you are at this point right now. It can be a very hard wall to break through. So just let it fall down on it's own. Sleep if you can. Tommorrow will be a better day. I am sure there it least will be a hole to peak through by morning.

Dobie, I hate to see you go thru this crap. You are personality PLUS. Please take care of yourself. xxCherylT
