I really hope that your dog feels better - a sick pup can really worry and sadden you.
I haven't posted much either, although I've checked in frequently. Since the summer I returned to work full time (a 2 hour round trip commute, my 2 children began school full time, my aunt, who was a second mother to me died suddenly of a brain anurism, one of my former students committed suicide (this was just last week) - I saw her the day before and she didn't give any indication. She was a student that always kept in touch, and has e-mailed me for 2 years - only 15 years old, a beautiful, inteligent girl. She just e-mailed me last month. She NEVER confided any problems to me. She always just asked about my kids and told me the crazy things her brother was doing- I taught him for 2 years also. It was such a shock and so overwhelmingly sad.
Besides all of this stress, my husband has a clinical depression. He was always the happiest, most easy-going, fun-loving man and the last year job stress started chaning his personality. He began therapy with a social worker- that the Dr. recommended, and that actually made his depression/anxiety worsen. I was thinking my husband was suicidal. He assured me he would never, but he told me that the feeling inside him was devistatingly horrible. Almost all of us knows how that feels. Thank God he agreed to see my psychiatrist whom I've know for 6 years. She put him on meds and he really feels comfortable with her and wants to see her and in January we'll also begin counseling as a couple. Life can be so difficult with its ups and downs. I've been dealing with my ED for 20 years and depression with various medications, and my Dr. said that sometimes a clinical depression can just strike from a tragic event or from nowhere.
So now my ED has been O.K., no mia, just at times overeating comfort foods, especially with my cousin who lost her mother, but then I stop, and sometimes not eating much, but because of really no appetite. I can't afford to rejoin my gym, but tonight I did a yoga tape and I have a treadmill, so I want to try moderate exercise for stress relief. I'm tring to focus on what I have: 2 beautiful children, caring friends - who have been a great comfort, my sisters, a job I love, and a husband who is open to counseling, meds and working things out, and he said he knows he does love me, so that's a good place to start. There's my update. Hope everyone else is well.
So Happy Dawn Has Returned!
