I am posting this here because it was my inability to cope with stress and thus medicating with food and wine, that got me in the 100 club to start with.
I am returning to work after a 28 month disability leave. I am already struggling to quell the panic associated with that, as it was job stress combined with medical problems that got me on disability in the first place.
The one bright spot is that I had an unusually kind and supportive case manager and having heard the horror stories from other colleagues about their battles with their case managers, I thanked whomever/or whatever you thank just about every day. BUT today, with two weeks to go, and a few important meeting and decisions still in the future, I find out he is leaving the company on Thursday. My first reaction was they fired him because he was too nice! So here I sit with my file about to be turned over to someone who doesn't know me from a rock on the road, my ability to continue in my career long enough to earn my pension (teacher) on the line, and my stomach in knots and pretty darn close to tears.
Well at least I haven't been able to eat since I heard the news and so my Fitday is at 800 calories. I guess there is a bright side to everything but I am still so scared and upset!
