I made it

Well, I made it through my first day back to work, thank God.  I'm in so much pain but I made it. Just to do it all over again tomorrow ....working 6 in a row then I'm off for 5.  Killer but I'll get better, gosh I hope so. My feet are throbbing so bad.

You can do it!  At least you can sort of go at your own pace.  Which is kind of good.  You might want to get some help.  I'm a dealer in Las Vegas so I don't have an option like that.  People gamble like crazy out here.  And you have to go at there pace and the pace the casino wants you to go.  I am getting punished right now because I took so much time off of work, they frown upon it, so they feel as though they have to punish me a lot now that I am back.  Hopefully. That will go away soon.  I don't like working for corperations, they hate their employees and I am part time and they work me full time with no benefits.  Truly sad. O well this was my choice in life so I have to just get er done...I'm glad I can help in any way I am here for you whenever you want to talk

Great job!!! It's very inspirational to read this post. I need to get back to work soon (I haven't worked a regular job in a few months - I have some freelance projects that I need to get back to doing in the next few days to make a deadline). I feel a lot of anxiety and fear around it, including opening up my laptop to check work emails, but once I do it I feel relief. Today my goal is to get back to actually doing work besides checking and replying to emails, even if it's just making a schedule/list of tasks and completing the first task today. Thanks for sharing - you give me hope and I look forward to pushing past the fear to feel a sense of accomplishment.

You did great *smiles*. I'm hoping today will be just a little easier as you count down your 5 (now) more day of work then 5 off. I hope you hopped in the bath/or put your feet up when you got home. Have a good day today!

I cried when I walked out the door to my apartment on the way to work.  Then the cold breeze woke me up, got in the car and music blasting.  Pink Floyd is relaxing me for some reason.  It's giving me a contact high just from listening I of smoking pot and just chilling.  Even though I don't like pot at all, never have.  But the music reminds me of people who smoked pot to their music and chilled.  Makes me feel chilled out.  Thanks pink Floyd  and thank you all for your support.  I don't know how I would have made it through the day without you guys..much love for all of you
