Self medicate is almost exactly what I'm doing because temporarily it makes me feel better. I know in the long term its really bad for me, but I just can't seem to stop. I'm going to try and get mom to help me make some homemade stuff tonight that I love that is okay for me (ground chicken meatloaf, shepherds pie with ground chicken etc) and hopefully that will help fight off the cravings for crap.
I also need to get my energy levels up. I've been sleeping almost 10 hours a night and am still tired (this time of year does it to me for sure!!!)

We self medicate by eating certain foods that dulls us/ calms us down, such as bread, as I have heard.
The good news......is REALLY GOOD news!

I'm having a contractor come and take a look (I just sent him an email today). He is a friend of the family and very well respected so I trust him to be honest and forthcoming about what he thinks. I have $10K in my head, and given that the basement is already finished (a lot of the hard work has been done) I'm hoping this is reasonable. If it's not then I have to do some serious thinking to determine whether or not its worth it in the long run. Mom has agreed to $650 a month and will pay the first year up front ( $7800.00) so I need to come up with the other $2200. I'm not making any decisions until I speak with the contractor and get a good estimate!
