Comments of thoughts to this situation, please

I have accepted what in my profession we call "weekend package".  Turnover is bad and I'm dependable so I will try to work doubles Saturday & Sunday.  32 hours and get paid for 40.  I will be off Monday-Friday.  I'm afraid it will mess up my steady pattern of 1st shift, but my daughter is very sick right now and every day... Read moreChevron

bp partner in denial - how can i help?

In Too Deep?

Whenever I go for therapy, I find it increasingly difficult to describe how I feel. Lately I have become a little annoyed at the question. How can you describe how you feel to someone when you have no "baseline" to work from?  I am a rapid cycler, and I am up and down so often on most days that my mood changes like "daisies in the spring".
