In reply to Jammer/Wishingstar - how are you?, posted by Kath on July 8, 2008, at 20:16:04
Wow Kath, thank you for thinking of me and asking. I really appreciate that. I obviously dont really post anymore but I do read log in and read every few days. I dont come to social much so I apologize for just now seeing this. Someone emailed and pointed out to me that you'd asked. Thank you.
I'm doing okay. Depression-wise, I'm doing quite well. I've been struggling a lot with eating/restricting recently and I've lost some weight that some might argue I didnt really have to lose... eh. I see my T once a week but it's really not often enough or helpful enough to get me to quit that behavior right now. I'm working on it though.
Otherwise, I started a new job several months back at a local child welfare agency. It's stressful but I really like it. It's hard to do when I'm not having a good day/month/whatever though.. my productivity and ability to work effectively has really dropped since my eating issues began a few weeks ago. I think I'm doing okay though. :)
I'm having a major problem with my pdoc and am working on switching. Still with the last therapist I've seen for the last 2 years.
How are you? Thanks again for asking. :)

Hi Wishingstar,
Nice to hear from you! Which board(s) do you mostly visit?
That was nice of whoever told you I posted!
I send you positive, nurturing thoughts. Over the last several weeks I've been having trouble making myself eat. It's been getting worse.
I actually asked my doctor if I can have blood work done to check my adrenals, as I've been being drawn to salty-type foods & that can be a sign of adrenal exhaustion, I believe. So now I have to do a 14 hour fast - water only before the blood work. Maybe I'll do it tonight! LOL Funny - I find it hard to eat, but the thought of not being able to have tea or juice in the evening is hard.I would think it would be very hard to do your type of work if you weren't feeling well yourself. Those kids are fortunate having a sensitive, kind person working with/for them.
I send my love, Kath

It was caraher that messaged me and said you'd posted. I mostly read the psychology and admin board. Psychology because it's the most interesting, and admin because I'm just drawn to it sometimes.. :) This is the first time I've posted in many months though.
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble too. I wish I could say my eating issues have a physical cause, but they dont. It's a mental health issue for me. Twice in the past week I've almost cried at meal time with another person at the thought of having to eat and the intensity of that for me right now. I just feel gross. I dont feel like I deserve to eat regularly/eat enough.
I hope you're bloodwork shows something useful to help you with whatever is going on. How is your son these days? I remember you and the family going through some tough things awhile back but that was some time ago. I hope things have improved.

Yikes, I feel dumb... I didnt even see your update post just above this one until just now. I hadnt really read the threads on the screen, just skipped back to this one to post to you. No need to repeat everything... I'll go read it right now! :)

I'm glad you found my update!
I am very very weary of it all. I'm putting an update there today.
Thanks for asking & for caring.
I'm so sorry you have eating issues. I don't 'know' you very well, but you certainly seem like a nice person to me - one who definitely deserves nurturing & nourishing (on all levels) & who deserves happiness & peace.
At times like this I always feel so frustrated to be so far away from people. How lovely it would be to be able to give a real life hug.
((((((((((((((((((((((((you)))))))))))))))))))))
love, Kath

As unfortunate as it is that we're all spread across the country (and world!) I will say that it still made me feel really good, in a real life way, that someone here was thinking of me and decided to post on that thought. :) But you're right, it sure would be nice to have some "real life" friends who "get it" (or heck, real life friends at all! Hah.) I appreciate everything you've said.
If you ever want to, feel free to babblemail me and I'll give you my "real" email address.. I'm happy to listen anytime you need someone. Hang in there.
