Running on Complete Empty

I have been pretty depleted physically, mentally, and emotionally. Don't get me wrong, I have a close relationship with God. My spiritual connection is strong. He is the glue that holds me together~but reality is that life has been tough this past year, and has left its mark on me physically, mentally and and emotionally. Now that my son is past his hard phases of chemo, I am focusing on my own health issues. The social worker at the clinic approached me one day  and asked me if I was taking time out to care for me.  I told her I thought so~but obviously I have been neglecting some of my personal needs over the past year.  The first sign was when I came down with shingles~and other physical ailments have cropped up or resurfaced also. I have been researching all my options and plan to share some of my story as I heal. For the record I have been to the Dr. and am following medical advice.

Marci~ I am sorry to hear about your health issues that have come up with all the stress that you have been under. I can so relate. Sometime lives circumstance have a way of monopolizing our lives. When I got poison ivy - I was also dealing with a very tough personal issue and it was like all I could do to just stay above water. I, too, feel like I am finally back to a place of being able to focus more on taking care of me and I am trying to make a few changes and do a better job at it.
It would be cool to hear your story. God uses our testimonies to help other people around us.
God bless you and heal you -phyically, mentally, and emotionally, Lisa :O)

Marci,
Being a mom caring for your family is a huge responsibility. I hope that you are improving and getting some time to rest.

Please share when you can as I am interested to know what you did for a good recovery.

I will keep you in prayer as well.
