Belated Welcome, Shavtay2007

Hi Tziporah,
I am so sorry that this is such a belated welcome to you. I've been absent from the board for nearly a month - so many things have been happening in my life that it was difficult to also come here. The good news is that life has somewhat calmed down (but I'm still crossing my fingers and my toes), which means that I'm back on iVillage.
I am so very happy to see you here, participating and sharing in our conversations! I hope that we'll get to know each other better in the coming weeks.
Welcome again!
(PS: I love the sound of your name!)

Your husband makes me laugh. Yes, it's sometimes easier to hear things from someone other than the person we love. lol
Making friends on message boards is so much easier for many of us, myself included, than making friends who live close by. Strange, but true. I think you're on to something when you say it's less threatening.
I hope you got some good rest.

Volunteering - it does seem you're already doing plenty of that, but if you think additional volunteering would be a good thing for you, something that gets you out of the house, then I'm all for it.
Defective Goods - I HATE that you think of yourself this way, it is so far from the truth. I also hate that you compare yourself to your sisters & their husbands. Your life is so different from theirs. Sure, you're "just getting started", but there is nothing wrong with that.
Changing thoughts - Easier said than done. I don't know a single person who isn't constantly working/fighting to change their thoughts from negatives to positives. In fact this is something we discussed in my Weight Watchers meeting this week. It's so easy to beat ourselves up for what we have done, but something we need to do is remind ourselves that it's done, we can't change the past, but we can do it better in the future.
Your MIL - I'm glad that Shabtai is talking about that situation more. I hope it's bringing him some relief to him to talk about it.

I can't blame you for not wanting to get out in the cold and rain. I know it's good for us, fresh air and all, but bleh! I don't want to be out in yucky weather either (we have snow & ice here today and school was cancelled, so really nowhere to go - yay).
I can't tell you if it's time to change therapists or what to do in regard to medications. I can only say you have to do what you think is best.
I will tell you though, exercise can really help you feel better... not just physically, but mentally too. I know when I'm more active, I feel like I can do anything! :)

I live in Colorado. We're used to snow, but this year has been unusually dry in the area of the state I'm in and this cold isn't as usual either. A few days below zero is normal, but it's currently 15 degrees farenheit below 0 and really, really cold which is why we have the "snow" days this week. Too cold for kids to be out in the weather waiting for busses or walking to school, etc. Plus when it's this cold cars and busses don't like to start sometimes.
I'm sorry about your fingers this morning. Wearing gloves probably would help, but would you pull them off during the night to get at your fingers?
Yes, I agree a lot of people are thinking about how much easier it is to be friendly online versus in real life.
Glad you're feeling more positive about therapy.

I haven't been keeping up as much on the news from Egypt as you have. I've seen pictures though of the protestors and I know one of the American reporters and his crew was beat up pretty bad a day or two ago.
Well.... maybe it's ime for you to prove to those who told you that you couldn't succeed that they are wrong! You can do it.
