Lost job again

And I think some of the rationale for my job troubles is that I am a survivor of 9/11/01 from Aon Group, 101st floor of the South Tower. My job was outsourced out in December of 2005 but every job since then I have mentally compared to that family-weird-bonded company and group of people I worked with back then. If so, glad to find it but I am worried about the bonding effect longer term. Similiar thing happened to crews of US Submarines in WW2 when a ship was subjected to a hellish depth-charge attack for hours and the crew became almost mystically connected together. Same thing possible with me.

Thoughts are bad right now and I am very worried and more scared than I am letting on. Do hope I don't go through the wide awake at 3:30 am routine again. Stress ya know.

I'm so sorry that you lost your job. I just finished writing a post talking about how I am worried about losing mine. It's not for the same reason as you, however.

I am very sorry to hear that you had to go through that. Have you spoken with a doctor or counselor about how you feel?

    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...
