    Okay, so going to any medical appts generally makes me nervous. I am a high anxiety person. So, my first mammogram is scheduled for the 30th. I turned 40 last July so it's time to get it done. But I hear so many people say how awful they are :nerv2: A lady I work with was just diagnosed and...

    Hey All! Well for those of you who don't know (or don't remember) my story, a little catch up. About 2.5 years ago I was in a bad car accident, had surgery and a long recovery (I'm still in a little pain). I took time off to heal and found a new career option for me. I did the pre-reqs (and did...

    Alrighty then! This weekend I had some downtime and figured now was a good time to start the process of becoming more responsible with my money- knowing where things are going, watching my spending, and being committed to paying off debt with the eventual goal of learning more about retirement...
  4. Financial hardship
    I became an RN 11 years ago, swore my life would be different, and it is..........I have so much debt and no money sense. I have never had it. Doesn't make sense because I am pretty smart. My problems is my anxiety is so bad over finances that I can open an envelope but cannot look at the ink...
  5. Homesteading and gardening
    Later today I will be planting a small container garden. My first one, and I'm really nervous about doing it well. My husband does a big garden, but I don't want to ask his advice or very quickly my garden will become his garden :( What I've done/know so far; *I asked at Lowes and was told I...

    Well, I might have slept 4 hours total last night. I tossed and turned til I finally just got up and watched television for awhile. I just feel so uncomfortable in my own skin. If I wear a bra to bed, I feel too enclosed. If I don't, I feel like I'm suffocating. Neither side is comfortable...

    I'm going to the doctor today. I've been feeling lousy for the past four days, thinking I had a touch of the flu. Fever, sore throat, coughing, and achy all over and then yesterday I spotted a bullseye type rash on the back of my arm, and then I remembered having a tick bite there a few days...

    I got an appt today at 3:45 for the results of a sonogram that they took of my swollen leg on Monday. They said it's probably a blood clot, but my regular MD hinted that it might be cancer because of the uterine cancer I had in 07. He said that since it was in the pelvic area and blood flows...

    Ok maybe I'm a little paranoid when it comes to my kids but this is really bothering me. Dd(17) is working at the local elementary/middle school with the summer school program. They run buses and pick the kids up and take them home in the evening. Her bus driver this summer is someone who is...

    DH came home on Thursday and told me that it looked like his company would be doing more layoffs today. I have not had a good feeling in my gut about this since he told me. The other layoff announcements have not made me this nervous, but for some reason this one does. His department has...

    My dh's work just laid off 43 people (only a total of 150 employees), and they are eliminating 3rd shift completely!! I'm getting very nervous....I've been really stockpiling lately, trying to plan ahead, way ahead!! Please keep my family in your prayers & the other families that lost their jobs :(

    I can't sleep. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. My brain is too wired right now and in roughly 8.5 hours, my baby will be on his way to his first day of school. I'm so nervous. Every time I think about going to bed, I get really nauseous. I think that's part of my nerves. I'm just so worried...

    Today my daughter and son hear if they have passed, failed or have a re-sit in their final exams. The results of these exams will determine if they can go on to college or university to do their chosen studies of International Business and Management (in English) and Med. School (this is only...

    It seems that my whole life is up in arms right now. We are waiting for our stimulus check to payoff a debt, we are waiting to here about a job offer for my husband, work is driving me nuts and I just had my ungrateful friends here for a visit. I feel ready to jump out of my skin. Do you ever...
  17. Careers
    I had an interview as a caregiver for a home that gives care to disabled adults last Monday. It went really well, but now I have a 2nd interview with the program manager tomorrow morning. It's pretty low pay compared to what I made at my last job, but I really need a job. My husband was...
  18. Financial hardship
    Several months ago, I allowed my daughter, her 2 little boys and my Mom to move into my house because my daughter was leaving her SO (they have a 2 year old together). She had nowhere to go. My Mom came because she wanted to be with the children and helps out watching them. Needless to say...

    Long rant follows: My dh and fellow employees are at the moment voting for a contract. It is a very bad contract and dh plans on voting no. The company is throwing money at them as a one time deal so they will take it - believe me the company has the money in order to keep the employees happy...
