Monty,
For a non-functioning basket case you're doing an amazing job hon! I am in agreement with RhysMadison about scheduling in fun/soothing things along with the required stuff. Make the time for the pleasant in addition to the necessary.

Calling you T today is a fabulous idea. Not staying a whole day at work either is a gread idea. You're wise to take these steps for your stability when you're feeling as you do.

Good job and we're all here in support. (I so wish I could remove the physical ickies from what you deal with....just makes everything seem so much worse through the lens of being sick)
