Just arrived at the office and am losing it. Can stay low for about 10 minutes, anyonme got a tip on how to make the tears stop? This is so embarrassing! I knwo that I was touchy before I got here. Asked someone to go get me a small soup from the cafe in teh next block. Came in adn they all claimed they were broke. OK. I asked if petty cash was empty -- lo, behold, it was not! Nobody wanted to make sure that I got a fucking little cup of soup before the lunchtime meeting. Story of my life these days out ehre in the real world. Then they tell me tht the big printer is not working and nobody ahs done anything except leave a voice mail for someone. When I called earlier, they never said a word abotu teh printer being broken. WTF! It's like nobody cares about anything around here. And I am sick of being stepped on while I try to kiss everyone's ass. This place can go belly-up tonight for all I care. Yes, I am in a rare mood. OK, brethe, breathe, breathe....

breath--deep breath. When your in the curtain mood everything seems like a big deal. Take a deep breath--next week, will it matter that the copier is down? Take the steps to get it fixed but don't let it upset you. A cup of soup--big deal, focus on the things that matter. Then the small things will come.

You can do this, man it is so hard, but just step back and focus on something else. Deep breaths are good, go give yourself a pep talk in the bathroom. You can do this.

Take a deep breath....

I can see how upset you were with your typing. Crying is good, so I was told.. let your tears run for a while. I usually stop when I feel tired from the crying.

Hang in there. I know how you are feeling. Just keep breathing, go outside, go into the bathroom and collect yourself. I work with mostly guys so I would hide in the bathroom till the tears stopped or say I had to walk over to the post office. Get out for a few minutes.

Woody Allen says something like 95% of success is showing up. You showed up so, breath and try to think of funny things!

Oh anne, it's so hard to deal with the little frustrations when your big picture and been dumped in the toilet. You are overwhelmed and you realize it is affecting your efficiency and ability to navigate at work. I'm so sorry you are hurting. Antidepressants are a great helper if you haven't tried them. You need an edge. You are not considered weak for taking care of yourself. ((Hugs)) This is a terrible horrible rotten day. But this too shall pass. Praying you recieve grace NOW!

Why is it SO many people fucking kick you square in the teeth when you're down and they know you're down instead of supporting you? I'll never know the answer to that. Anyway, I will share my mantra with you that I wrote when I got separated...
Exhale...
...breathe
...you are free
...and no longer have to live in fear

Live...
...allow yourself to be happy
...and to feel emotions long overdue
...give to yourself what you have not been given

Embrace...
...all that is around you
...and the beauty of life
...and the rebirth of yourself.

You need to appoint a second in command my friend. Whomever you trust the most. You can't practice law and run the practice down to the tiniest details. Do what you need to do, but you have got to delegate.

    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...
