I am freaking out, I have so many bills but I feel like I can't make myself go to work. I hate it, or maybe I just hate how difficult it is to do my job when my mood is so low. Ive gained 15 pounds in the last 2 months and I don't even want to leave the house. I just want to be happy, feel good about myself and enjoy work and enjoy my boyfriend and want to spend time with friends have energy and fun again. I wish I could afford a holiday on a beach!

Any good at pretend? Turn on some Bob Marley, make youself a drink with a little umbrella in it? Maybe visit a tanning bed?

I've been feeling the same way. Im up for a promotion at work and I've called out for the past few days. Just can't make myself get out of bed. I hope things get better for you soon.

I know the feeling, it seems like the harder I try the worse things get. Both my personal life and work life just seem to be going downhill

California sounds great! I would love to sit on a beach and forget my troubles! unfortunatly I live in Canada and it is starting to get pretty cold already. Anyone have any ideas of what i should tell my boss? I got my boyfriend to tell him i wouldn't be in for a couple of weeks, but I won't have a job if I don't come up with something good. I have no idea when I will go back, I just want to cry even thinking about going to work. 8 hours seems like eternity when I'm there.

Your meds may be resonsible for your rapid thinking. Hold on tight until you see your doc.

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...
