Okay Tami,
Now, you made that first choice you had such a hard time making. Please, for your own sake, slow down now a bit. Remember, you took this time for you to make some decisions, you're not going to do it all in the first week. When I suggested you don't stay idle, I didn't mean you didn't also need some time to relax.
I can't help but feel like your fighting yourself as much as the beast. Exercise does not work for everyone, it doesn't for me either.
Might I suggest we go back to what I first suggested? Take some time for yourself. This is a good place to do that. Don't worry right now what's happening at work at all. Just take some time and write out your thoughts. We'll all be here to listen. If they're private, write them to yourself in one of your word programs or write yourself letters. Read them back to yourself. Ask and answer these questions for what is going to be best for Tami and her Family.
Take your time. You don't have to answer them all right away, and it's all right to change your mind. Relax.
By the way, you ARE normal. Leave those outside stresses behind for a bit and take them on one at a time after you've had a chance to let them go for a while. They'll be much easier to deal with once you've slowed down and let Tammi get some well deserved rest.
When you're feeling up to it, come on in here and join in on some of the laughter as well as the advice ... it helps : )
My best,
Dave
