I couldn't do that at this point, or maybe ever.<br />And when a fast ball comes out of left field it's not easy for any one to take it all without a hitch!<br />I'm taking a specialized therapy called DBT because I haven't been able to control my emotions in certain situations. So good for you for being able to suck it up, NOT playing the whiner for 5 months and just putting your nose down and working. It necessary for you to have some control in your life, and I'm sure the conversation is coming with your boss. This time you will be calm and prepared and it sucks you have to share that very personal part of your life with her. But as all of know with this disease there is nothing even close to fair in our world.<br />I admire you, love your writing so keep on moving in YOUR right direction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724852675376988214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-51915161548845405962015-08-22T17:20:27.347-07:002015-08-22T17:20:27.347-07:00Bless you.

I would schedule a meeting with your boss and explain your position on your terms. Please don't be hard on yourself and worry. Before I was medically retired at 42 from teaching I used to play over every situation and make it much worse, even catastrophic. Sending you love and big hugs xxlornajfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244545999397445695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-41122273392527012512015-08-22T16:39:40.068-07:002015-08-22T16:39:40.068-07:00Know the feeling

I hope things went well for you in this, I HATE confrontation, and as those of us with chronic illness know, confrontation saps the life out of us.
