Anita,

I saw this and immediately went back to my other thread, thank you for the reminder.

I’m going to enjoy my weekend once I get off work tomorrow afternoon. It’ll be a full weekend for me even with having to work tomorrow since I’ll be off through Monday for the holiday.

Times are hard as I still have question marks in regards to my overall health & wellbeing, functionality, etc. My work life has been really good, I passed an exam that I have been waiting to take for a while. It’s been busier and I’ve been taking on and been given more responsibilities/ independence in my position. All good things, getting me closer to where I want to be. My personal life isn’t so terrible, but some of my loved ones are not having the best time of their lives and it’s hard to be there for it sometimes. I love so deeply and I hate seeing the people I care about hurting or struggling.  I don’t care to share all kinds of details of their problems but that’s the cause of my current tough times. It’s a lot of feeling down, worried, stressed, scared, confused. What do you do sometimes. It’s hard because I don’t know how I’m supposed to react and feel  around other people, the ones I care about. I don’t want to be selfish and not be involved in their struggles, I want to be there for them and help them through it. At the end of the day it’s always easy for me to say it’s all alright, things get better. But other people don’t get that, are a lot more pessimistic so it can be hard to be a supporter who is so positive.
