Work and symptoms and self-esteem....oh my!

[Guest guest]

Brent,

Thank you for your thoughts and insight....I really needed to hear the

things you and others have had to say. My clients have responded very

positively to my request of a change in status......I need to " walk the

walk " of taking care of oneself and emptying the " plate " that we often

fill up way too much. I have an appt with my current Rheummy on

Thursday and hubby has agreed to go with me.....while he's 23 years

older, I think it is important for him to understand what is going

on....why I am so exhausted and falling behind here at home.

Financially the difference in pay may be an adjustment however, I am

learning that the more I work....the more we pay in taxes.....big

time....so I am unsure in the long run if it really is that beneficial

when compared to my health and also.....the more people make, the more

they spend so cutting back on other things may need to happen as well.

I attended a 2 day conference last week and the organization hosting the

training may have some PT opportunities available that would give me a

new spark.....I am not one to stand still....I need to learn and

grow......I am becoming more comfortable with my decision...and the

sress does seem to be decreasing little by little
