So maybe there will be a way to heal the nerves somehow one day. Its like you just get overloaded and then your nervous system goes haywire.

My husband has been sober for 22 years now! And he is my ROCK! I love him so much...he is actually handling this really well since we finally embraced it this last flare up. We never really understood it or belived in it and now there is relief just in that.

But out of everything I think this site has helped me emotionally more than anything because 'I am not alone. I hope you can find a job that is not stressful or maybe do something out of your home where you can monitor yourself. I know when I had to quit work I went into a depression like no other, plus my son had just left the nest. So I had nothing in my life and felt worthless. But my family made it very clear I wasn't. Someone had to take care of the petsBut seriously I think we just learn to put what energy we have into something else. Sometimes something even more meaningful. For example I do alot of writing, photography, and I love scrapbooking, getting all those beautiful moments of my family in books so we can enjoy them. Its things I can do on my own time. Yet everyone gets something out of it. melegg, you to will find your way. You sound very strong willed. Have a great day, and be creative. You will feel better...I think I will try to do the same.

I think it would be great to have a chat room to show off our talents..But then thats probley what the lounge is for. Duh Luv, Kaze

I feel that I've gotten somewhat worse. At least since I had my first symptoms in the beginning. But for the past 6 months or so- I'm feeling about the same. Horrible all the time. But keeping that chin up! This site really helps me mentally. Everyone is great!

Thanks for the encouragement!! However, I did not say that my drawings were good!

My daughter and I also like to scrapbook together. But I seem to have the same problem you do in a scrapbooking store. I LOVE EVERYTHING!! My husband really will need me to find a way to work if I go in those very often

Luv YA

The stress in my life goes up and down. Before we bought our new house a month or so ago, we had moved from an apt and was living with our son and his family waiting for our house to be done. It was stressful waiting for that and living with others, even tho they are family. Now the stress is more bills, and less money. LOL Waiting for SSD, getting the house decorated, so many things. And I am stressed about an upcoming surgery I am having.

Gosh I hate all this.
