Frown Limbo Land - exhaustion

I am sitting here listening to soothing music and trying to relax. The weird thing about limbo land is that it puts you on edge and then suddenly pulls the plug on your emotions and psyche and everything that makes you you and not IT goes flowing away in the flood of overwhelment.

I have been through the whole range of emotions the past few days and weeks. I had an occupational therapist identify the bulk of my visual problems (the sx cause) and then she told me she could teach me how to compensate for it in a way that almost sounded like she was promising a cure! That was hard b/c i am about to start a job and I don't have time for 4 weeks 2x per week of occupational therapy. I simply can NOT take off work on a regular basis when just beginning a new job!!! I don't know what to do!

Any suggestions?

That's a great analogy. I think all of us in limbo can relate.

For me, my quest is two-fold: finding a name for IT and finding something that will stop or slow IT down.

I am so tired of living with IT and not even knowing what IT is or how to make IT stop terrorizing my life.

Bad, bad IT!

Maybe the OT can work around your schedule. Talk to the OT and find out what this program is and see if it there is some way the two of you can work out a practical schedule.

Hang in there Rachael...you've got a lot of support.
