Hello everyone,

I hope that things have been going good for everyone. I haven't been on much so I figured I would give an update to what has been going on. First of all I am almost 100% positive that I did not get my transfer. I will find out today as I am in the process of dragging myself into work. I will be making a call to regional on my lunch break to see if I can get into an existing building. It has been an extremely frustrating process so far and has left me drained mentally.
On St. Patty's day I had to take my son to the hospital because he was having an allergic reaction. His face swelled up and he broke out in hives or something. Poor kid looked horrible. The next day we went to pick up a few groceries and there was a blood mobile outside so donated. It took a long time because they did some procedure where they take red blood cells from you as they say it is good for infants with leukemia and some other diseases. So I have the needle in my arm and after a while I start having an anxiety attack. Maybe the blood loss had something to with it but I became all fidgety and restless. They kept asking me if everything was alright and I told them it must be from the blood loss. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
Other than that it has been the usual "blah" feeling I have most of the days. I don't want to do anything but lay around most of the time. Either that or I feel disconnected from alot of things. I keep putting off an appointment because we do not know if we are going to be moving or not so I am kind of stuck.

Take care

I am sorry to hear that life continues to be so stressful for you. It isn't easy, especially when you're unhappy in the job & being held in limbo. I am sure these were contributing factors to the anxiety

Hey there,

I hope life is getting a little easier for you. Just wanted to share - I kept putting off making an appointment and the possibility of medication for months while I prepared to move overseas. I kept thinking, why start when I'll just have to leave. After having a total breakdown from the stress about a week ago, I'm starting to have 20/20 hindsight and realizing that for months...heck years!...I've not really been coping as well as I thought I was and I've been missing out on really enjoying my life. Believe me, when and if you move the stress and anxiety will only increase. If you've already started helping yourself, you will likely be able to cope a bit better. Just calling to make the appointment may help you with your anxiety. The very act of you taking a step to help yourself can be very powerful. I wish you all the best :)
