Tulipgirl6's Journal, 30 August 2014

1 - If I eat any more vegetables I might throw up

2 - I need to find a job

3 - I need to get off this site so I can do other stuff

4 - I was walking this morning and I felt like my brain was shaking in the back of my head. I was so dizzy, I did everything I could just to get back to the house. I've also been experiencing blackouts and serious forgetfulness.

My head and my bloodwork is an issue, and so is the job. So I have chronic headaches, migraines, I've had meningitis, and I was supposed to follow up with a neurologist years ago. It seems like I have chronic stress symptoms. So my Dr. mentioning this clinic in the city to me along with my labwork that was off brought it to my attention in a real way. So I totally trust this Dr. but it sounds a little gimmicky to me. I will see.

The job thing is daunting. Maybe I've been comparing myself to my husband who has a very real job, with a very tangible set of skills. I did not worry that he wouldn't find something. But I on the other hand, don't know how to get back into the job market, or what I want to do, or how after paying for child care and taxes, this imaginary job is going to leave any income.

I did an elaborate test once. It showed that I excel in entrepeneurial skills, surprisingly my math is good, and I'm leaning towards a social tendancy to help other people. I used to work in the fashion industry as a technical designer. Where does that leave me? Looking for a seasonal sales job?

I'm going to work on my resume while baby is sleeping.

Your health is the most important thing for you and your children. Please forget about a job and follow up with the neurologist to get the medical issue figured out! Praying for you!

What about being an accountant and doing people's taxes? (Just the first thing I thought of for entrepreneur, math, and helping people.) Good luck in your career quest. Think of it as an adventure. You'll find something, and you may be surprised how much better you'll feel by having a job, especially if it's something you like. I hope you get your neurological problems resolved. I'm praying that you'll be alright.

A wise person once told me worrying does not accomplish anything - easier said then done- take one problem at a time-/ don't let stress overload kill you- Take care of your health first!!!! -Then worry about a job or part time job to start off with- if you do not have medical insurance check around for free clinic or any federal/ state or programs / if you are in different country your health insurance should be covered/

I agree one step at a time! Take care of the health issues first and watch the stress .. it can knock you off your feet and feel like a lot of other ailments as well. You may be experiencing a serious bout of anxiety - it can make you feel like you are losing it in your headspace. My dad's death in 2011 made me so ill and it was all anxiety/stress.

Yeah I basically made an account on here. Tried to "check in" and "update" but that didn't work as what I thought. So I kept it back to basics. No ONLINE "CoDependence". Focused on ME, My excercises, My diet, My Weight. Everything. No NEED for "Outside" support system. It's HARD I know but in the end, I got used to it and it made it more fun because In the END It's YOU...who MAKE Who YOU ARE. ACCOUNTABILITY IS IMPORTANT. I HAD A CONCRETE GOAL AND DIDN'T GIVE UP BECAUSE EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT IT. B. LEE.
