Handling Stress

Jan 27, 2011

 It's official, I am out of a job in a few months.  I think I can get to my surgery date and if the very worst happens I would have Cobra to be able to get my surgery but it makes me think about handling stress.  I have been very aware of my anxiety since word came down our contract was going to another company - and so far I have been owning it.  I am NOT going to let this become a reason / excuse to not get surgery.  If anything I am going to look at it as a prime time to get healthy to get another job and push even further in my career.  

I won't say I am not depressed, I am, and I am fearful and I have spent some time crying about this because this kind of uncertainty in the current economic climate is incredibly unsettling, but I don't have the control here, and I can't change the reality.  All I can do it proactively look for another position while I complete my transition as thoroughly as possible.

The one thing I feel good about?  Today I had my protein shake for breakfast, grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch and tuna fish with wheat thins for dinner - I didn't crack and turn to food - I faced the fear head on and I lived....
