Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with a staggering blow at work - budget cuts most likely will mean I'm out of my job next year unless they magically find another way to gain or cut funds. I could bump someone who is lower on the totem pole but it would not be the job I've loved for 20 years- working with gifted students. Another choice is to retire but I'm not sure I'm prepared for that financially. I'm broken hearted. I can't sleep, feel nauseous, a bit weepy off and on, and I'm having muscle cramps in my upper back/neck. Don't know if I should stress dose for this. What do you guys think? I keep telling myself, one day at a time - no big deal. But when you see your life's work being thrown away it is a big deal, at least for me. It wasn't just a job to me, I was building something that I meant to pass on. Deb I'm glad to share my experience, but I am not a doctor and you should always consult your own physician.
I'm hypopituitary (SAI and hypothyroid) caused by a pituitary cyst. Taking 7.5 mg prednisone and 75 mcg synthroid daily.

"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
