    Yeah, this is so not happening this month. 🙁 So discouraged by current circumstances and life events. I’m super depressed and hate how these things take over my life and nobody seems to care. I want to crawl into a hole right now.

    @NonnieDoiron I don't have a fix for you. I can say make time for yourself or learn how to say "no", but without walking in your shoes, it's not my place. You have to decide those things for yourself. That said, I've had lots of downs. I've sat in hospitals with $10 to my name surrounded by junk in vending machines. I've been left $20 to feed the family for a week while my now ex went to work out of town. I've had family drain me emotionally to where I just wanted to curl up in bed and stay there forever. It is tough to put yourself first. It is even tougher to ask for help. But no one is going to do it for you. Find one small thing you enjoy. Maybe a craft or an activity. Carve out some regular time for yourself to do that. Even if you just start with 15-30 minutes, it is time for you!

    @MsElphaba thank you. Making time for me and the things I like to do has always been the last of my priorities. After the husband okayed it, I quit work and was looking forward to putting energy and effort into me, my health, my faith, my being. Then, my MIL who lives with us ends up in the CV ICU (still in the hospital). Had a couple other really stressful and time consuming things happen. Then last week, my husband informed me I have to back to work.

    I have a Teams interview with a company today I used to corroborate with while working with my last employer. They all but begged me to go to work for them when I quit my last job, so I’m pretty confident I’ll be employed soon. But, I REALLY don’t want to go back to work. But, I feel like I have to because my husband has been retired from the military for 14 years, is 100% disabled (mostly mental), and his field of work normally takes him away from home. It’s just completely discouraging and depressing. I finally had a chance to really prioritize me, and it gets taken away.

    If I do get the job with this company I’m interviewing with today, the position will be 100% telework. That is about the only positive I can find other than the fact I had the networking to get the job so quickly in the first place.

    @NonnieDoiron I can see another positive in your situation: you say the company really wants you. That puts you in a position to negotiate! Ask for a part-time position, or even a creative deal like "every other Friday off," or extra paid vacation days. If they really want you this should sweeten the deal for both parties.

    When I bring back basic meals incorporating lean protein of chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and eggs, my body seems to respond positively. Also cutting out wine most days is a big benefit. Weight was up after a big lunch and goodies with friends, so most likely water weight due to sodium. I am very sensitive to that!

    Trying to lean up and gain muscle for summer. I was maintaining around 120 lbs but I have increased my lifting weights and hunger has increased. I put on 5lbs. I think some of that is water retention since I got off a prescription diuretic.

    I walked at the free indoor track at the community center. I can definitely feel the difference in my fitness. The center also has an exercise room with bikes, treadmills, weight machine, etc. I am still doing Leslie Sansone videos. I am still tracking my food each day.
