Well, it's official. it came down the wire on friday.......my company is closing down. I'll be out of a job in a matter of months. As soon as the inventory is liquidated, the store will close.
It took so much courage just to put resumes out to get this job. I remember sitting in my car and crying because I just couldn't bring myself to go into places to even apply. I was a wreck and now I'm going to have to do it again. I'm terrified.
The effexor was making me feel better but over the weekend, I've dropped down a few rungs on that ladder. I'm starting to feel the paralysis bearing it's teeth.
Dammit!!!!! This is the worst thing to have happen right now in the midst of trying to treat an already out of control anxiety disorder.

I'm soooooo confused.........I think I might just go bang my head against a door.
Oh, and does ripping up loo rolls help?? I've never tried that one. Do you leave the roll all rolled up and try to rip it or do you unroll it and toss it around??
....and I LOVE gay men. The ones I've known have the most incredibly quick wit and they are very cute in their tight shirts. I've never met an unattractive gay man. Hmmmm.

You really don't want to meet my friend.. Big Gay T*** (after Big Gay Al in SOuth Park.. he named himself!!).. he's very unattractive, overly touchy feely, and a total queen... everyone is terrified of him when he's drunk!!! *lmao*
They were all sooo snotty today *sighs* We were just little IT geeks and not worthy of their time I think.. its a really famous nightclub in London, so I think they felt they were uber cool!!!
Ho hum!!
Oh, and ripping toilet roll is fab... I don;t put it back (I rip it into tiny bits!) but I can easily fill carrier bag!! *l*

Do you have a diagnosed condition? My therapist just told me that with my professional diagnosis of bipolar disorder, I would qualify for early social security benefits. My initial reaction was that I should be somewhat ashamed to recieve "government aid", but my therapist laughed. She said, "How long have you been working?" I said, "I worked at least one full-time job for over 20 years. Whenever we needed the money, I worked two jobs until we caught up."
She said, "So you've been paying into the social security system for over 20 years. And the way things are going, it's certainly possible that the system will no longer be in place by the time you're 65 years old." She didn't say, "If you live that long." Manic depression is lethal.So I'm in the process of applying for benefits myself. At this point in my life, I'm too unstable to work at my profession as an x-ray technician. Although I'm very good at it (hell I should be after all this time) stress whacks me out. Also, I just can't be around drugs, my control in that area is still poor.
If you have a diagnosed mental condition, this might be an option for you too. At least you won't starve until you can be self-supporting.
In the meantime, get creative! I make extra money by selling books on amazon.com. This is ideal for me because it requires a minimum of human contact. I don't have to deal with people face-to-face at all except at the thrift stores where I scrounge for books, the office supply store where I get mailing materials, and the post office.Good luck to you-
Gracie
