Recently, I have been feeling terribly overwhelmed - I feel miserable, anxious, depressed, as though nothing I do can ever make my situation better. Physically, I am also having problems - I am very exhausted, my voice is hoarse, and I have constant headaches and various body aches. Even though I am still having my meds managed by my doctor in New Jersey (since I have been between jobs and have been moving about in CO, I haven't had the opportunity to find a doctor here yet), I went to the clinic in this town and had bloodwork done. I seriously feel that something is off, although I don't know whether it is with my thyroid or my antidepressants. However, I cannot keep feeling like this - it is affecting my work, and it is making life extremely difficult for me. I should know the results by Monday afternoon. Also, I feel terribly lonely; I don't know anyone here other than coworkers, and I am embarrassed to say this, but I miss my family and our cats.

I am uncertain whether or not I will stay in this part of Colorado - it is beautiful, but the weather really makes things difficult for me (it snowed again on Wednesday - we got over 15 inches). Also, as I've said before, it is a very tight housing market and it is extremely expensive to live up here. I have a job interview scheduled in Denver on Tuesday, and I can only hope that they offer me the position. This will be my second interview with this company - I interviewed with them before I got the job in the mountains, and although I emailed them, explaining that I had accepted a position elsewhere, they seem to still want me. So, here's hoping. I keep telling myself that things will get better, they HAVE to get better....

Well, for starters, good luck on the interview! I think once you have the job that things will start falling into place for you. Being in between jobs/postions is always hard on a person and it will case all kinds of stress on you, physically and mentally. Just take it one step and a time. Things will get better!
Thanks for this!

I left my family because, as much as I love them, living with them was not a good situation for me, in more ways than one. I wish I had not had to leave the cats, because they are wonderful, but I felt it would not have been fair to bring them on a drive across the country, uprooting them from the environment in which they were most confortable, especially when I have no money to provide for them (I can barely provide for myself at this point, lol). Anyway, those were my reasons.

I wish you the best. I hope things get better.
With the meds, sometimes your body gets use to the amount you give it and crests an immunity do you think that could be it or just your sudden life change? Well whatever it is talk to your doctor and keep your faith.
