Joanne,

I had a terrible time last year making decisions at work....things I have been doing effortlessly for years, suddenly I had no confidence about a correct decision and the wrong one was always perceived as a potential disaster.

I even had a few times at restaurants where my wife had to walk me through the process of making menu choices...it was overwhelming deciding. Of course when that happens we make it worse by being embarrassed.

As I improved and was capable of limited errands and so forth with my wife I would chose to go along with her when she could bring me home easily part way through the errands or after 1 store etc. or the whole schedule when nothing was planned afterwards.

My kids are out of the house so I did not have any additional responsibilities such as you when returning home...my efforts could all be directed towards decompressing.

I lost every stitch of confidence I ever had. I was really afraid I would never make a correct decision again... Even a bad one wt that! I am a lot more like my old self now but I do have times when I flounder. When I do I just pause and take the necessary time now or ask for help.
