I went to the career seminar today as part of my unemployment compensation. I really think that I am not sure if I can handle public situations/meetings much anymore. I was feeling overwhelmed and then even more overwhelmed when they said that some people are now going up to 7 interviews with no job landing. The atmosphere has changed and I am not ready for it.

BTW, if my last post alarmed people, please don't be, it just means I might have to collect disability for my mental state is all.

Roberta, sorry that you're going through a rough time. I don't like severe weather either, because it makes me anxious.
Mike, I know how overwhelming being unemployed can be. Just keep taking it one day at a time.
Tracy, I'm praying about your situation as well. Keep trusting in God, no matter what happens in your life.
As for me,
I'm having trouble right now. I'm just so sick of this whole thing. Yesterday, I felt like giving up on my mental health treatments, because I was thinking that if things got worse and we ended up living in a run-down apartment in the "shooting gallery" area of town, I'd probably never feel like praising God or serving Him again.
But then today, I received some encouragement and comfort from my brothers and sisters in Christ at my Overcomers in Christ support group meeting, where we talked about letting God work in our lives through witnessing and helping others. This gave me a more positive outlook, despite the rough day that followed.
So my mental health is up and down today, up, because of Christian music & encouragement and down, because of the constant family (stuff) going on right now.

Hope you all are doing well today. Please remember in your prayers a young teen who has posted on p/p concerning his mental health, thoughts of suicide, etc.
Have a blessed day, everyone!

Hello. I don't often post, but I do read and pray while reading. I am sorry about the money issues (those stink) and I hope your arm feels better quickly.
I have a question. I was encouraged to resign this year, which I did. But I requested a copy of my entire personnel file. There were some good thins in there, and my evals were good. But there were some things that punched me in the stomach too. Apparently this had been going on for some time. There were notes from the administrator going back three years, and there were some outright lies. For example, I had been on a new med a couple of years ago, and it was NOT working. I had to call for a teacher to pick up her class early, and I went to talk to the administrator, visibly upset as I explained to her what a hard time I had been having. In her note, she wrote that I told her I was hallucinating (I have never hallucinated), and that I hallucinated about "chopping up children." This is totally false. There were a few other things like that as well.
Now, I have accepted that I resigned and that I cannot fix everything. But the idea that our superintendent and an attorney (which they consulted without my knowledge to see how to cover themselves) and who knows who else thinks I was fantasizing about killing children is making me very upset. So do I try to address this, send a note or schedule an appointment with the superintendent to clarify this? Do I confront the administrator who said these things? Or do I just cry the tears I need to cry and let it go? They thought I was absent too much when sick....I get that. The principal wanted my room more organized....that's fine. But I LOVE my students. I could never hurt children. I am not sure what to do. I know forgiveness is in order, which will probably involve praying about it more than one time. When do you try to correct damage to your reputation, and when do you just let it go?

Good morning Princess, my personal opinion is to pray on this and then decide what you need to do, confront, seek legal counsel (best idea) or what have you. Sounds weird that they would put that in your file but not let you go. So it doesn't sound like that they took it as seriously as they did, but still. Keep us posted.
Roberta, I had a strangely peaceful day yesterday. I am hoping for the same today.
Melissa, I am sorry that you are still having issues with your family. Personally I do not see why you should have to make them dinner if they are the ones kicking you out or are these other family members instead?

Hi Everybody!
I decided I should just check in. Melissa thanks for the prayers. Haven't been over to exercise check in, but have been doing what I can given my stomach has been sick for over a month now and have an appointment with one specialist tomorrow and another that I have to make, but want to see what this one says.
We have been having a hard time here. Yesterday, I think I took a few too many things to help me sleep because I slept for almost 24 hours and am still ready to sleep again. But maybe tomorrow I will feel better since my trend has been to not be tired enough by bed time to fall asleep and up all night. I know know that SVU is on at three am.
Anyway, my kids are a mess lately and yesterday, my dog got into an unopened pack of gum, got it open and ate every last piece, I don't know if you know this, but anything with xyitol (not sure of spelling, but sounds like zylotol) is toxic to dogs. She is in the hospital right now and we may be able to take her home tomorrow as long as her blood sugar stays stable and her liver enzymes stay normal, so please pray. My kids are just devastated and crying a lot during this. I know she is only a dog, but still a puppy. The one thing that helped her out is that while she is still a puppy, she weighs in at 90 lbs and her weight makes a difference in the level of toxicity in her. I am so happy I got the breed of dog I got. She is a Lab/Retriever/Great Pyrneese mix. So she is a big puppy and is going to be an even bigger dog. While most of her growing is done, they grow until they are two.
I am around, but have much on my mind and am going to have to explain to my doctor how I went through my meds so fast. But I did give a heads up to my therapist and she does have a signed disclosure from me, so he may know before my next appointment. I wasn't trying to kill myself, I was just trying to sleep. It has been so long since I slept that I actually feel a bit more mentally alert right now, although still a bit groggy. Tomorrow should be great though because that will all be out of my system and if I do get a good nights sleep, I won't even need anything but my mood stabilizers and one antidepressant. My pharmacy is slowly dwindling down to just a few things. I can't wait until there are no things and I don't need anything but my mood stabilizer.
I have also had some health problems and it has been a while so after the doctor, e.r. and many phone calls back and forth, I have an appointment with one specialist and depending on how that goes, I will need to see another. But at this point, I am ready to perform surgery myself if they don't listen to me anymore.
Anyway, I will check back later. I will also read the rest of the posts I missed so I can catch up and reply to you all.
Goodnight. I am off to bed.

Tracy, have you tried behavioral techniques to help you sleep? Maybe herbal tea and a boring book?

I'm having somewhat of a tough night, tomorrow will be better. I just have to get my apartment cleaned within 2 weeks and it is overwhelming to me. I will say that the spirit within says that I can do it, just is a lot is all.
I also want to get out of the city and my apartment for the 4th, but isn't looking so good at the moment because of cleaning that I need to do, plus money issues. I do have the feeling that something will come up and it will be all ok. I just gotta ride this storm for now and trust in Jesus as opposed to myself.

Just to add, words sometimes on a forum can be amplified louder than they actually are. I am ok really, just experiencing some fear the moment. In and of itself its not too big. It just might sound it the way I conveyed it.

Mike, why do you have to get it cleaned? Does your apartment manager do inspections?

Hi Kath!
My landlord is having the utility company come over to take care of any drafts that might be causing the house to lose heat. They asked me to clean and being the "lived in" person that I am, this usually puts me into panic mode. I have made headway and still have more than a week to get it all taken care of.

Yucky day today and too hot and humid to go anywhere. Didn't sleep well last night. Got woke up by a phone call this morning that was supposed to be a confirmation for something that I ordered last week.

I struggle with OCD, anxiety, and depression...part of the reason my husband left me I think...does anyone have any suggestions? I have been dealing with it for like 7 years now and I am medicated, have gone through counseling, etc. Some days are really hard and I just wondered if besides praying through it...does anyone have any other ideas?
