What a time lately. I keep saying to myself you can handle this.

My buddy has been having seizures and had a series of small strokes recently. Only 40. I can't console her well because her life is spiraling. On top of her problems her mom is very ill and it is not looking good at all. Her dad is having major surgery which will take months to recoup from. I have been more than happy to help her all I can and sure wish I could make it easier for her.

Another friend wiped out and broke his leg. We are helping her out also as he lives alone and we have had snow.

Dh has been having issues since we came back from vacation the end of Feb. He has on and off had blood in his urine on and off for the last 3 years. The Dr has shown no concern because it clears up upon further testing and besides that he has always been healthy as a horse. With his current issues they are looking into some issues that are frightening to even think about. I really wish none of these things worst case scenario had not even even been brought up until they are sure. Dh is very calm about it but I am anxious.

Ds 20 has been a pain and it blew up with me screaming at him last night and giving him the choice of " my way IS the way it is or leave my house". It was ugly. He seems to have gotten the point so far. I was dead serious.

The younger ds has been sick with the flu again.

On a happier note my 14.5 year old Sheppard mix had surgery today and is doing great. The vet called again right before they closed for the evening.

Things need to calm down a bit and we need some answers of what is going on with dh.

Self hatred

I just hate myself right now. I wish there was a magic pill to stop me from getting so upset and shooting off my mouth. I wish I could see in me what my patients and their families see in me. I wish I could be that person I am at work 100% of the time. I feel too much and hurt too easily. I get mad and anxious and no matter what meds the doctor tries, they only work for a short time. My kids always fight and my boyfriend is just another issue altogether. I feel stretched thin and over-used by everyone and I just cannot control myself. I am so lonely and feel like nobody feels what I feel. I have so much conscience that when I do something wrong I never get over it. I wish I had no conscience because it would make things easier for me. I just feel...too much all at once. I just really need somewhere to vent since I can't tell anyone in "real life" how I feel. I wish I could get on a plane and start over. But I am a mom, I have responsibilities and a house and family. I need to figure out how to really deal with my issues. I just don't know where to start.

Dealing with cravings (dessert)...how to stop them?

I'm not sure how to deal with this... I crave sweets (especially chocolate) whenever I'm stressed, upset, frustrated, overwhelmed...you get it. I'm good with moderation on pretty much everything *except* this...

The big issue? I'm hypoglycemic...so, sweets are BAD, BAD, BAD for me... Sometimes I can get myself to skip it or just have something else as a "treat", but lately. >< Ugh!

I had a BAD blood sugar crash last week. And, just 36 hours before midterms. Which meant I lost my cram time (fortunately, I study all semester, but would have MUCH preferred the review/cram time to lying on the couch, miserable and weak). This is effecting my education and life goals. How do I stop these cravings?

I've tried being logical with myself...health effects, scholastic effects, etc. When I'm utterly stressed out...it's just my coping mechanism. >< It's truly ridiculous. I know this. Ideas? Thoughts? I already try to not keep ANY in the house, but sometimes it slips in and I inhale it at my first stressed opportunity. :(
