Stressing out and really struggling!
Donna - how you can even consider yourself a failure?? Look how far you have come...
I know you are worried about the job stuff, but don't forget to take a few minutes for yourself, too. Hot bubble bath with candles lit? a manicure? some fun music? a good book?
I discovered years ago when I had some horrendous things going on at work that I couldn't worry all day and night because I had 2 small daughters who were depending on me and a job that required 100% of my attention. I decided that I had to find a time to worry and for me it was in the car alone, coming home from work. If the *stuff* crept into my thoughts and it was not my designated time, then I would pu**** away. I would tell myself - I will worry about that at 6 or whatever I had decided.
Things will work out... and you will gain control again.
