and support. I am starting to feel a bit better and thinking more rationally. I saw my pdoc on Sunday (yes, he sees patients on weekends once a month - he's so nice). I was really sick with a gastrointestinal virus and threw up so much for days that I think I was in a really weak state and feeling hopeless. I have now eaten solid food for two days in a row and it all stayed down - Yahoo!!! I was really scared for awhile there. I am still feeling quite weak, but I am actually letting my body heal (for once) and trying to take it easy. My pdoc says I am suffering more from exhaustion and burnout than depression (although burnout is a form of depression). I brought it on myself. I can't seem to let go of my workaholic tendencies and I don't listen to the signals my body is giving me. My pdoc has put me off work for a couple of months and has told me to call him any time I need to between appointments. I am so afraid that I have damaged myself beyond repair, but I need to take it one day at a time and try not to worry.
So, again, thank you all for being there. I'm sorry it took me so long to express my gratitude.
