How do you know when you are truly cracking up...
Is there some tell tale sign that lets you know you have reached the end of your capacity
to cope?  I have had the worst to weeks ever along with all the conflict with my oldest
daughter, my second daughter is in the air force and going thru a nasty divorce, wants me to pack up my life and go live with her to help out with her 2yr old, I got fired from my job for missing to much work. Mind you, I had what the dr thought was a stroke last sept. out 15days, got whooping cough yes whooping cough in May out for 20 days, and just last week another lung infection out 5 days. I realize they need someone there on a consistant basis but frankly, I am just spent I want to lay down and cry until I cant cry anymore.  Im still sick coughing what's left of my lungs out but now I have no insurance to even go back to the
dr.  And everyday I have to put on the happy mommy face for my 7yr old so she wont think
anythings wrong. I cant sleep from the worry of how will manage. Not hungry for the first time in my life, and my honey is so busy coaching football he can barely even call me before 11pm. So I am left all day with my thoughts and some of them at this point are seeming a bit off to me. So how do you tell when you are losing your mind?

    namy, there isn't any clear border between sane and insane. we are all a little insane some of the time. it's like you're on a mountain, and sometimes you get lost in trees or deep gullies and can't see the sun but you know you're still on your way to somewhere. as you can still blog clearly about your problems, it's obvious you're still ok. i'd rather suggest that you continue blogging here, which is a form of preventive therapy. i read you clearly. don't get lost in these mountains ... :-)

    I think Moon said it perfectly.

    And being a 24/7 mother is a though job.

    Maybe you are pretending too much from yourself...and surely you worry yourself sick....maybe its time that your dear husband stops his crazy schedule at leats for some days and run to your side. I dotn care his work schedule...family always comes first...does he know in which anguish you are, emotionally and physically?

    moon - you are the first person to hit the nail on the head about how I am feeling... sometimes the forrest is so thick you go around in circles trying to find your way out. I am trying to write often... I hope it continues to help. THANK YOU

    ginger- what a sweet soul you are... honey has begun to realize the gravity of the situation, and is taking the next few days to be here with me.

    namy:  first, thanks for stopping by my blog this morning.
     
    i feel your pain in the words you wrote.
    you're sane.  take my word.  it's just sometimes life overwhelms us.
    being a mom is the hardest job in the world.  and just because your children get older doesn't mean you aren't still on call 24/7.
     
    i hope you know you aren't alone and that you will stay and blog with us.

Wow, it's Thursday and I haven't, as of yet, gotten past my Monday passive/aggressive mentality...sigh. Thursday, it can't be past three pm on Monday. I just recently returned from leave and the whole mentality of being at work can be described as being...
