Lynlee, you have put it so, so well. I, like you, would have been so much better off if I had taken the time in the beginning. Now 4 years later, I resigned from my job last month because of all my issues and the problems at work, I'm taking the time, I don't push myself...nor do I beat myself up for not being able to do more. I too ended up in the hospital, with what the doctors described as an extreme anxiety attach (I thought I was having a heart attack). My blood pressure before the fall in 05 was always around 120/60 - this year it was up to 191/110 now I'm on blood pressure meds...too too much stress and my mind cannot deal with it.

Your explanation was superb!!! Thanks for your insight!
