Getting Back Up when you have fallen

get the devil out your ear....and brendaaaa sweetie we are all in your shoes.....now i am thinking of what you can do with those fresh pecans.....candy them with splenda and put them over a nice fresh garden salad.....girl my mouth is watering just thinking about the sweet tastes on a crisp bed of lettuce.....

First of all, I am in tears after reading this and all of the LOVING support offered by BAF family.  You all are the bestest!

Brenda, I'm still pre-op so I really can't offer any support based on experience, but please know that you're in my prayers.  Also, if you haven't done so already, please consider seeing a therapist or a spiritual advisor (pastor, minister, etc.)... basically, someone you can talk to, who can help you find better ways to cope with the stress. 

Get up, dust yourself off, and press on toward the mark.  You're a beautiful creation of God.  He wouldn't have brought you this far just to leave you.

Thanks cutie.  I too am overwhelmed by the BAF love.  These are the best people on any OH board.  I love hanging out here.

You are right about the spiritual advisor as well.  I am changing churches and I know not being grounded somewhere is attributing to part ot the problem.

OMG!  I am in the same boat... between church homes when I really need spiritual grounding during this process.  It's hard, but it can be done.  He's always with us, even when it doesn't feel like it.

Brenda,

Don't feel bad sista, i'm going through the same thing. I put up old pictures of myself and sometimes I just fall in a daze and say if I don't get my mind right i'll be right back there. It is hard and we have to continue to fight this demon DAILY. Just hang in there I know you will overcome this. We will all overcome it!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried to find another thing to do instead of baking? What other things do you like to do?
