oh poop - get well soon

Tires, why so tired? It's 7am and I didn't stay up late or anything. So much to get done at work

Currently I feel like I'm worthless. The stuff I post and do is all worthless. I'll never measure up.

No one is worthless ***hugs*** sorry you feel this way

Sweetie, when you say "I'll never," life looks really overwhelming. Take one moment at a time and do good things for yourself. And I agree with lasair.......... the things you post are not worthless and you are not worthless.

Hang in there.

Like a failure, I tried to make it, but I realize that nothing will make it worthwhile so I've decided to give up and let myself waste away again. It was a waste of time and effort, I was never worth it to begin with, I'm not sure why I'm still around. TO make everyone who ever cared about me regret it, I suppose.

How do men always seem to believe they can talk down to me about things I obviously know more about??

We don't.

[Kirsebaer]

been having back/neck pain for a week now... I know exercising would help but I can't make myself do anything other than sleep and rest when I'm not working..

[Kirsebaer]

Like a failure who can't do anything right

You're not a failure I know sometimes we can't help but focus only on the things we do wrong, but try to keep in mind that everybody experiences failure and setbacks in life and that's perfectly normal...

*warning- I'm going to sound like your mother*

Lift with your legs
Wear comfortable shoes
Make sure your purse is not too heavy and switch sides when walking with it
Angle your chair forward to relieve lower back stress
Get a massage chair pad that you can put on a chair at home (around 70.00 dollars here). One that does your full back is best.
Relax!!! If you're tense while lifting, your muscles will tighten in the wrong places

Oh and stand up straight! And sit up straight!


Do you feel like you just went home to mom?
