I know for me, weekends are tougher because I am not busy with work. I don't have many friends (I have 2) and both are married with kids. so during the weekends, I am often by myself, nothing to do. it sucks!

((((((((((((((purrdy)))))))))))))))) You hang in there my friend....I know it's so hard............but you are soooo right.....it beats waking up hungover......and wondering what the he$$ have I done!! It will get better...I know I thought it never ever would.I felt so insane I couldn't even leave my house at first! Was paranoid, scared, anxious, pissed at the whole dammed world............ it did get better though...hell, last year at this time I wouldn't have been able to post I was driving!! I was soooooooo scared I would never drive again.the panic attacks whiledriving turned into a phobia.where even a oicture of a cra, a tv commercial made me very nervous and panicky... now I drive! ((((((((((((((Huge Warm Hugs)))))))))))))

When I find weekends stressful are when I am around stressful people. Funny,......my car is a rolling dumpster and I have been planning to unload it today or tomorrow. I am liking this weekend because I was able to stay up later last night without stressing into pieces about it because of my need and difficulty with sleep; knowing that I could wake up this morning whenever I was ready. Which was 2 hours later than weekdays! ooooo, I like that!

That physical exhaustion even after a little bit of work or exercise is one of the signs and symptoms of depression. The reason I bring this up is because come the weekend I try to do stuff around the house, and there are times when I am so lethargic I cant even get out of the house. This morning is a prime example. It is a gorgeous early spring day here in NE. about 70º. I went out to do some strenuous yardwork and raking and after 45 minutes I was so damn tired I had to sit down. Now I know Im not getting any younger but I really wasnt pushing myself that hard and I got tired???? Plus I havent exercised in 3 months, stopped going to TKD and now I have no stamina. I just wanted to make the point between fatigue and depression. Maybe that is why some people dont like weekends, their depression kicks in even more. IDK, just a thought.

Bozo, thank you so much. I didn't know that....it will help me be more compassionate with myself and quit beating myself up for being slothful.   Really that is so good to know.....it will make a difference in my life.

It really is a sore spot for me. Ya know how many people say to me, "when ya gonna get a job?", or "since you don't work" ( I hear that ALOT)..  I just had to comment here.. LOL.. I feel better now.. I knwo taxes are a real killer. We actually get a refund this year, but we owe state, not as much as we are getting refunded though. That is good. I just hope they didn't make a mistake. We got a letter last year, from the IRS, saying our taxes were wrong in 2003.. They just caught them, like last July, or Sept.  So, we are now on a payment plan with the IRS. We have to pay them every month. Doesn't that bite!! We just do the best we can. We owe EVERYONE.. We just keep trying our best. I haven't worked outside my home in about 2 years. I am almost afraid to now. I worked for 11 years, doing 12 hour shift work.. UGH.. Don't ever want to go there again.. Well, you hang in there.. Prayers, Becky

THank you (((((((((angelgirl))))))))............It just seems like no matter how far I come.it seems I have a trillion miles to go to 'get there'......and intellectually I KNOW 'getting there', that want, that desire is what makes us nutty.we can't enjoy the blessings of the moment when our head is in the futire or the past.....but emotionally I just want to be 'secure', be out of debt, be educated!!! I have a learning phobia...ME..who used to ace tests because I LOVED taking tests....scored in the top 7% of 7,000 nursing school applicants in 1997.........now? LOL............any kind of test freaks me out........but I will plod along......I am being too hard on myself..I know it....but the urgency of the IRS.the whole "oH my god we are going to lose our home.............we don't have credit cards.........only owe taxes......IRS,k state, real estate and school..........lol.....there is something for me to learn in all this.........some test which I must pass IMO before I can go on to ahigher 'plane'.but dang it does it have to be soooo scary??? and hard??? Thanks for the encouragement.I'l be fine........just having a venting session. and LIVE!! I love your simple but RIGHT ON advice...................answers on the end of a phone..............duh!! I avoid the phone alot...but it ain't doing me any good to continue avoiding.........so here I gooo............... HEAD FIRST.............jumping in........... thanks ya ll!! love ya!!!!
