OK....husband has been in and out of hospital a few times since january. with Diabetes related issues. Cant seem to get his numbers down, then the go waaaay down......blah......He almost died last time.....scaredme to death

I got a side job out of town working on pcs....in N. Carolina...its nice. pays good. and they fly me out there. (every like two weeks for a weekend) cant help but feeling burnt out. I am grateful, as my husband hasnt been paid for time off, this supplements our income a bit, and i know bills will be paid. I am however, as much as i like working, feeling overtired, stressed....and almost as if im coming down with something.

Mom is settled in her new place for the most part, but is also having issues with memory loss, they believe its because of the pain pills shes on for chronic pain. So thats been on my mind.

Meanwhile, my puppy of 10 years, is steadily going downhill. and it scares me. Ive been having panic attacks too big to mention daily now for the last two weeks. (and nightly, to make matters worse) at the time You cant tell me different, as it feels like my breathing will cease.

I feel bad because ive tried so hard to get my side business going. and its going well, and because others are out of a job, I feel guilty saying I need a break...Im tired.

But I am. Ive always known how to just keep going. Maybe thats changing because i feel like i need a day of total sleep.

Thanks for letting me vent....even if its about nothing.

Good Vent! Glad to hear it (read it)! Sounds like you have a lot going on and need a breather. Try and take one.
Wishing you Strength

I have found that this is one of the safest places to vent, and you get support to boot!

With the economy the way it is. Its in our favor to not charge as much as geek squad. In that respect passing flyers out has helped. Good luck to u. Thanks for the reply!

Hi Colleen! Good to hear from you! I am sorry that you are so busy! I am also sorry about your husbands health. And your vent was about a lot, not nothing!

Hey sannah, Glad to see you around here too. Missed being on here. Will be back more. Seeing T tonite, for the first time in like weeks...So im excited. As for how things are going, i have to be grateful for work, and the side stuff as its helping pay bills right now.

Just hoping to keep above water. I realized when the husband was out of work, Just how close we are to drowning again without his check...made me appreciate my job more. I hate to complain when there is so many people out of work, but im seriously tired. I need a mental health day this weekend sometime.

Thanks again for the encouragement,

Take Care,
C
