Going away for awhile!!

Well Here is my point. no one has answered my posts of late & today I lost my job, so
I am going away for awhile just to re-group some of my senses.
Not gone forever just awhile.
Maybe someone will miss me when I am gone, maybe not.

Im right behind you...Ill miss you...be well Marilyn, maybe we can look each other up in a few weeks....I need a break too...be well, stay strong and hang in there, Ill be thinking of you....
Your Friend....

Kim, I don't know what's going on for you but it sounds to me like you're feeling like no one is listening to you or paying you much attention. I know exactly what that feels like. It doesn't feel good. It hurts like hell. I don't want you to go. There was a time, just before all that political talk on the Board, when you really took the lead - you became sort of our Pied Piper - and you kept us going, you really brought a new energy to our group... and we all listened and paid attention - and we followed your happy lead! I don't know what's happened, but something happened because you suddenly just kind of stopped posting. I think, like me, you take things very personally - I do as well. I get all caught up in it, like a bug ensnared in a spider's web, and I can't get out to save my life - I get in my own way, I bring myself down, nobody does that for me. Try to find your way back to you, Kim. Try to figure out what's going on. Don't go away, we're here and we're ready to listen - but you have to speak up. What's going on? I asked you that last week - and you're the one who didn't respond to me! But I didn't take it personally!!!    Come on, talk to us. Your Reenie

i have to say that many of us feel the same way...if your post wasn't answered it wasn't necessarily "you" that was negelected.....i know that right now i can hardly get myself out of a paper bag........

be well............

marilyn...your last post was 15 days ago--what are you talking about that no one answers you???i am sorry--i am not spending a great deal of time here- you know i stay on the OFF board...where you USED to post....but i don't see what is wrong????? i am not taking the time tonite to read thru each post to see if you replied to someone and haven't been replied back to??????


edit: i went back and read your reply to reenie and i see why you are so down...i didn't get answered there either--it'snot you personally!!!!!

tho i do feel that i am about ready to pull away from all of the boards for awhile- hubby says that i seem angry at teh world right now-and he is probly right....

anyhow- i wish you well in your regrouping and i am sorry about your job loss..i know that feeling....

Yeah, Life pretty much sucks right now & yes depression is a lot of it. Money problems
big time & now made worse with no job at all.
I am still in paid with my back & can't seem to get any help with that because of the money problems & on & On & On.
So since I don't have much to say in a positive mode I will just be gone for a ffew weeks & see what I can recover of my Life.
I don't want to be living with my Mother as I love her dearly, just feel that I am more
burdens to her.
Thanks & I will come back just down the road a piece.

Hi Marilyn,

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through so much. I missed your most recent post only because I don't check it much on the weekend. I'm normally at work when I check in. Me being on here tonight is kindof a fluke for me. It's so hard living with mom. I know Me and my mom argue so much when we are around each other too much. It can be stressful. I'm also constantly send you prayers hoping something comes along that will help you with your medical bills. I hate that you can't get insurance. It is such a big issue to me. Keep on exercising you are doing so well with that! It will help with the depression. Don't shy away because you are afriad of posting negative things. This is a SUPPORT board and we are here to support you Marilyn!!!  Hang in there honey!  Take a nice breather. Take some nice walks and set some time for yourself to regroup. But make sure you come back!!!!  I'll miss you!!!!   ((hugs!!))

Marilyn,

We talked via private e-mail last night so you know how badly I feel about your cir****tances.  I've been thinking about you all day.  Couple of thoughts...

Found a site that might have some resources or you.

http://sandiego.networkofcare.org/mh/resource/find.cfm

They seem to have resources for everything from mental health to employment.  Click through the site and see if there is anything of interest. 

Thanks the website has lots of stuff I can use.

Dang!  I wasn't done typing when the darn post just went ahead and sumitted itself. 

Anyway, the other thing was a job.  If you were going to lose your job, this is actually the best time of the year for that to happen.  I know that sounds stupid, but because it's the holiday season, stores are hiring.  When I started looking for a 2nd job, everyone told me that I needed to fill out applications on line.  I did that for a couple of days and figured that wasn't going to work.  Especially for me because I had no retail experience and what I did have going for me (24 years of customer service, but no retail) wasn't going to come through in an online application.  I printed up my resume and hit the pavement.   I picked the three places that I most wanted to work at and headed for the first one.  I walked in, asked for the manager and took a deep breath.  When the manager came up, I stuck out my hand and said, "Hello, my name is Constance.  I have no retail experience, but I have 24 years of excellent customer service and I'd like to tell you why I think I'm a good fit for your store."  I walked out the door with a job.

Marilyn, you have a lot more going for you than I did.  You can do this. 

Hang in there and stay in touch when you're ready.

Hugs and lots of love,
Connie
