I don't feel I am much use to anyone when I am feeling this wobbly, but maybe my wobbliness will be reassuring to others who feel the same.
There probably is a direct correlation between my CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and holding on to all my grief. I have been in counselling for years, but although my counsellor has been incredibly supportive, I have maybe not been doing the right sort of work with her.
It is 2 in the morning here, but it feels like I have reached an important place. I can lie in tomorrow. It feels like getting in touch with my feelings in this way is important healing work. How many nights have I stayed up late to agonise over him, or distract myself with boring films, because that's all there is on the telly!

Thanks for your share Rowan. It can be very difficult to "recover" from an addictionand a physical problem at the same time. I know for me....because of my unchecked addictions over the last 20 yrs I have developed chronic stress, chronic anxiety and chronic insomnia and chronic depression. I am overweight (food addict) and thus it makes me sluggish and tired and exhausted.
I just physically dont feel well. Im also low in just about all the vitamins including B 12, folate, vit d, Iron you name it Im on a supplement fo it. Seems to me that yrs of eating stuff has caught up with me!!
Also borderline diabetic!!
So I just feel YUK!! And get unwell if I do too much, one day at work and Im exhausted. Im basically off work and have been for a few mths now. I need to get my body back into shape.
The only way I can do that is to get my mind and soul back first. That for me is where the 12 step program comes in. It really helps.
I gather from a lot of the posts here that there are a lot of us out there who are not working. Perhaps some of you could share here too.
