Joan I am so glad to hear you had a good trip to the mall, it is so different to go w/out the kids!

GG don't get me wrong I love natural things too, I take wood over vinyl any day on a lot of things, but the fence I tought it would last a lot longer if it was vinyl and the up keep is a lot easier, so I though! but you do have good point about wood. As a matter of fact I hardly ever buy vinyl or plastic anything for example I will never buy plastic shoes or handbags or furniture, DH and I refurnished all the furniture in our office, we love antiques too.

MO I'LL HIT YOU UP ON THE OTHER SITE

Hey all. I know I've been MIA for quite a while. I was house sitting and had no internet access. Been really depressed too. Haven't had a chance to read all the posts. Just a quickie to let everyone know I'm still alive.

Kerri

Kerri: I feel ya, I've been depressed as heck too. Let me know if I can do something. :hug:

Everyone: Thanks for your support. I've just been dealing with a lot of stuff lately and I've been getting progressively worse for the past week...but I can normally sense when I'm really about to drop off the edge like I did last night...this time I fell in the black hole w/o even seeing the dang thing. So, I spent the night sobbing like a maniac really loud, getting sick and yes, sitting on the bathroom floor rocking back and forth like a nutcase. This morning I'm dead tired as I only slept about 3 hours if that. Just overwhelmed, I think and when there is noone around to hold you or grab you and force you outside to do yard work (be active) or go grab a pizza and people watch...it's that much tougher. I'm losing a lot of hair again, I'm super exhausted again, my mood swings are trippy (as you see) and though I'm losing weight, my body looks crappy naked and my pallor is looking sickly. So mainly, I think my thyroid is really working me over. On top of that....I'm so distracted that I can't even focus on my finances...and now my checking account is in the red bigtime and well there are other financial dilemmas too. I need to just sit down and budget out for the next 2 months and come up with a game plan...but I don't have any energy to do it..so it gets worse (duh). Then, @ work they are talking about re-doing all of our job descriptions this next fiscal year..which means all of our salaries will be cut by $5,000+ per year. I'm also doing my typical misinterpretation/paranoia thing with a guy I care about....so basically, nothing life and death exactly...just everything hitting @ once and I can't find my footing to cope. I can't get my blood drawn for another 2 weeks on this dose of meds...so we can't think about increasing it until then....this is too much. I didn't ask for this damn disease, ya know? It's a monster. I need the troops to roll in and kick it's arse....I swear, that gland really can reak (???) havoc on your entire health-emotional, physical (even having trouble going poo again), everything. GOING CRAZY...I really think I am. :dizzy: MO
