I don't have any words of wisdom to share.

I do have plenty of Prayers. . . And I will be sending them out for you.

Please know that we are never as alone as we feel like we are. You have a great deal of people on here who are willing to listen and share their feelings as well.

I lived alone for many years before my grown son moved back in with me. I had my Mom about as much as you describe having yours. This may sound silly but when I had about six, seven weeks in Recovery, I went and got a kitten. I found that having that unconditional love waiting for me when I came home helped a great deal.

I know when I'm depressed, I can imagine all kinds of things like coworkers not wanting me around or thinking that people are staring at me. I found out that once I made friends with one of the women at work, I had the courage to ask her what it was about me that the others didn't like. She told me that she honestly didn't know where that came from. She explained that maybe I was acting standooffish, thinking they didn't like me and they thought I didn't like them. And as far as your return to work not being mentioned, I wouldn't take that personal. Seems like a lot of the people in upper mgt. don't seem to be able to mix personal feelings with work. I don't think it's you.

Please feel free to pm me anytime you'd like to talk. I'm off work right now and pretty much stuck at home. I'm having some physical problems, the Dr.'s just found out I have Congestive Heart Failure, so I've got plenty of time on my hands.

God Bless,
Judy
