I Find Myself On This Ledge...

this place that I don't want to be. I am having surgery on Tuesday. I am facing stressors from all around...dad very ill, very stressful work environment, sweetest pup just at the vet hospital today with no diagnosis as yet, two giant bills this week I was not anticipating and more.

 

I do not want to be here. I want to be calm and well and excited.

Mine is Monday and everything is stressing. I know I am just worried about the surgery and pain, but this is crazy. I cannot find my cell phone and it is freaking me out...now...you need to know this about me, I am not a cell phone addict. I turn it on when it benefits me, but, I am upset and it is absolutely silly!

I have posted some pleas for help, but only a couple of people have responded to my questions and pleas. I feel alone.

I hope yecats' words were a comfort to you because they really rang true. All these things going on in your life are not to be minimized in their importance to you, but you have to keep focused in what your ultimate goal is, especially now with surgery around the corner. Lean on those close to you if you can, or even the people here. We will support you every inch of the way. Hugs.

Thanks you guys. Really. I need to focus. Keep my priorities straight. Only 'some' things are really in my control. I can only do what I can do. I will put all my efforts into managing what I can and letting the rest sit in the background for a bit. Surely it isn't going anywhere :)

Mammamia, I'm glad you are able to focus on what you can control. Let your higher power deal with the rest for now. If there is something you need to do on those other situations, you will know, but the situation will not get better just because you do or don't do something. :) Besides, following through with your surgery will help you take better care of yourself, which has positive benefits for others in your life!

Good luck!! We're keeping your spot on the loser's bench warm! :)
