  • Need some help please...

    It's 12h42am. I'm extremely tired and very emotional. Nothing seems to be going right so far this year..
    First none of our clients paid us for December. Then we had a breakin and all our business software (WHY???) got stolen. My DH had a little bumper-bash with my car and the other guy wasn't insured. Then both my little girls were hospitalized on Tuesday for Shigella-poisoning they picked up in Mozambique on holiday, and I've just heard that both my parents have malaria.

    I spent the last four days at the hospital with the kids, I'm so tired I feel like I want to fall on my face, at least the poor little ones were discharged today so I can get some sleep. Needless to say, I have fallen of the Atkins wagon pretty hard since Tuesday. I've had nothing but take aways from the hospital cafeteria, and loads of coffee. I've taken up smoking again to stay awake. (What the????)

    I've been really really bad. I've fallen into the old habit of doing bad things to my body when I feel stressed. How is it that to everyone else it seems like I'm in control and calm in a crisis - I'm always the one telling everyone things aren't that bad, look on the bright side, breathe, stay calm yada yada yada, meanwhile I'm sabotaging everything by becoming this out of control eating everything in sight smoking human hazard to everybody's wellbeing. I need to quit this. My kids are fine. My parents will be too. I'm scared I won't be able to get clean again. I've struggled to quit smoking for 5 years. I know how hard it will be again. I know that it will take so much to start eating well again. HELP PLEASE! Anyone please help me through the next day. If I do one day, the one after that will be easier, right?

    Yes, one day at a time is the best way to go. You said everyone is/will be fine so there's no need to stress about it anymore. And eating poorly is not going make anything better. You've quit smoking and done your Atkins before...you can do it again. Many people go through several attempts before they succeed. You can do it...have faith in yourself 'cause we have faith in you.

      I'm so sorry glad to hear your little ones ar getting better.

      just take it one min at a time. you got all the cigs out of the house, car and clothes?

      you got a good suplly of foods ready to eat?
      You got plans for intertaining the kids while they rest and get well?

      you can do this. you know what is coming and how in 48 hrs all the nicatine will be out of yoursystem and the physcial side gone. the rest is pure mental and I know yyou know sevral good reasons why you should never put a cancer stick in your mouth again.

            Thank you all very much!! I wish I'd been sleeping like a baby, but no, I've had a busy day! Kids were up bright and early this morning, isn't it weird how they can be so sick and then all of a sudden soooo healthy with sooooooooooo much energy??? I'm still trying to recover the sleep I've lost and feel like death warmed up, but they don't seem to notice... Bless them! I cooked dinner for my parents tonight, they are so stubborn! They don't ask for help, and don't phone if there's a problem. I went there this morning, they haven't had their meds delivered and are too sick to care, so I did the meds run and cooked for them. They are doing worse, with high fever etc. The doctor said if the fever don't break they must be admitted to hospital tomorrow. DH is also very tired after the week we've had, but he took a nap this afternoon, woke up for dinner and is sleeping on the couch right now. Don't want to desturb him.

            Wannabethin - thank you for the kind words, I need it more than you know!

            2Big - I got rid of the cigarettes. Thanks. I planned the next weeks meals tonight and will go shopping tomorrow. The food situation in the house is sad to say the least, didn't shop after the hols, then hospital so there are no food in the house not even the bad kind... As for entertaining the kids, the girls (2 and 4) will be entertained by big brother (7) - he offered, so sweet! and for now they can watch all the DVD's they want. I nowmally allow 1 movie a weekend but this is an emergency..Monday they'll be back at school so I can start on the outstanding work to get the business running for 2006..

            Slim, it sounds worse than it is, I'm tired so it's hard to see the light but I'm reaaaally trying hard to hang in. Thanks for the hug! I needed that.

            I'll just jump right in with Atkins and pretend the last week never happened. Just get it done. I'm going to set some goals for the next 3 months, I turn 30 in March and need to be in control of myself and my life by then.

            Thanks again for all the support, I appreciate it so much. Thanks!!((((((hugs)))))))
