Oh, Heidi girl. No, you are not so different. I sit here with tears in my eyes reading your post not from sympathy, but empathy. I manage people, I manage my family, I have huge responsibilities on my shoulders 24/7 it seems somedays. And, it too, sucks the life out of me, add hormonal imbalance to it...and...well, I get drained, pissed, DRAMATIC, storm off, say things I don't mean, say things I do mean in a short/terse/nasty way, etc. etc. etc. Then I feel embarassed because I've over reacted. I, too, am lucky to have loving and understanding family and friends...and that includes those at ADBB.

Welcome back.

I love your quote in your signature, Heidi. It's making me think and maybe re-evaluate some things today.

Well I love ya Heidi and am glad to see you back. I think that the majority of us are over-worked and under-appreciated.

Re: Learn discipline from a 600lb Buddha

oh I am SO glad to hear reality spoken by someone other than me! I work at home, usually. So I kind of get in a quarantined environment and when I go off feeling like, Hey - wait a minute. A full time job, a full time husband, a full time baby and 3 other kids and and and and.... well you know all the sad, bad, crappy stuff. And I say to my husband, "I'm tired and tired of XYZ" He just tells me I'm having a mid-life crisis.... Do I want to kill him sometimes???? Have a guess!

Thanks for that Heidi!

Loving-kindness right back at ya, Heidi.

Of course we all have our moments/day/weeks/years! After all, the only constant is change.

I'm so delighted that you took this approach to things... for me, the only thing that has truly worked is realizing that I was dealing with the suffering of life by causing myself more suffering (i.e. poisoning myself with unhealthy amounts/types of foods) and that I should be as compassionate to myself as I try to be to others.

I bet you are a terrific nurse. You are a terrifically nice lady, that's for sure.

*HUGS* I missed you. I think we all reach our breaking point (or pretty darn close) at one point or another.
