I started crying and really really hating myself. I went to work, where a co-worker saw me, and asked what was wrong. I told her what was up and that if I had a container of 2 dozen cookies from Publix, I would eat them all. She nearly fell over and said, "It is a good thing you don't have them". When I got home from work on Tuesday, I went to bed and cried some more. I also told her that I cannot wait until my birthday when I can hang out with friends.

Hugs to all of you,

Sweet girl, I am so very sorry that you had a rough day. I am sure that we have all been there, and felt that pain. This time of year is tough for a lot of people... "holiday cheer" is not universal for everyone.

I don't know about you, but for me, a good cry is cleansing. It's like I'm finally able to let all the pain & negativity out. The next day I usually wake up with a sense of starting over with all the bad stuff gone.

I hope that you are having a better day. You are making amazing strides on your journey... keep your chin up!
