[quote=Anonymous]If you can -take a day off from work - a day your son goes to school - and just let yourself fall apart.

I had a horrible summer - there were health issues with my dad, my husband, and my son and I was in danger of losing my job.  Friends kept telling me it was important to take care of myself, but no one could explain just HOW was I suppose to do that given every single minute was taken up by caring for someone or trying to do my job.  Finally, my co-worker told me that she could tell I was getting to the edge and - to hell with my job - I had to take a day off for me or it was all going to fall apart.  And that letting go and crying is actually good for stress relief.  So I did.  I took the day off, I just let myself rest and mope and then I pulled myself back up again.  Its not like I felt 100 percent better, but I was at least able to get my head above water.

It sucks when you are under water and can't get up.  You said you have one friend you can count on - just not much.  Figure out if there is something you can ask of that friend that will help.  Maybe its a night out.  Or maybe it is to just talk on the phone and give you some suggestions on how to get through this.  Sometimes it just helps to have someone just listen.  In my case, it helped just to have somone acknowledge my life sucked.

Good luck to you.  [/quote]
