YEsterday I went to my school's HEalth center and they drew my blood to see what is happening to my body, with my insomnia and anxiety. I have to return Monday for a CBC test and to see the RN about the results of this one. I kind of felt better even after talking to the RN's there yesterday. I'm so glad that my school had a HEalth & Welless center. :-1

Hi

Hope all was well with the tests

You haven't caught the Kissing illness have you? Glandular fever?

Nope, not the kissing illness. Just got my test results. The Nurse Practitioner said my hormone levels are very low due to probably stress in my life. Also that I could maybe not be eating enough either. So they also drew more blood today to do testing for anemia and to check my liver and blood. I have to go back there again at 1:45.

I am so tired right now. I definitely have been feeling anemic.

Well I found out one thing I'd been wondering about, I'm not starting the change of life as I thought. Its just stress that is making me feel this way.

Don't mention Glandular Fever.....I lost 28lbs in 10 days.

Hope everythings ok. Always amazes me how revealing our blood is.

thanks for the reply....they found that my hormone levels are abnormally low. And it is from stress they said. So yesterday, they finally gave me some sleep medication called something like amiltrypamine. It also has an anit-anxiety medication in it. I feel so much better today. And it only costs $13.65. Then they also took mre blood for a CBC count so check my levles for possible anemia. I have lost so much weight. I cannot believe it.

So I had a really good interview today and I could be working soon. At the company I found thru my school's career center. They seemed like really really nice people. It is for a clerk job in an Human REsources Dept. for a company that audits companies like Boeing and the aerospace companies.

Well, gotta go.

Ah, didn't get the job. Just got the call, they selected someone else. Ah, I felt awful. So I called the agency and told the guy there that I am ready for a temp-to-perm job now. I feel so desperate, I hate this feeling. I just emailed my resume all over from a few jobs I found in the newspaper.

I really want to be working soon. I hate not working. It feels so idle.

Don't give up luvvy....something will turn up ..

Been there Saffron... seems like everything is closing in... feel smothered...almost like drowning. One thing makes the others worse. Dissapointment effects appetite. Lack of appetite effects diet and nutrition. Diminished nutrition usually leads to anemia and/or your problems with the hormone level

The one bright spot here is YOU!... YOU took the first steps to caring for your self. YOU were smart enough to recognize a health problem. YOU were strong enough to take charge and find the help you needed.

You are farther ahead today than you were yesterday. Look toward tomorrow with renewed strength and resolve.

Blessings

Thanks everyone for the support.

I caught a cold that is going around too. I must sound ike a hypocondriac. IT wasn't that bad though. So today I feel better, except for losing a little sleep. Tommorow is a new day. And maybe I will get some kind of work. I am at the library now emailing my resume to jobs in the newspaper. The newspaper is usually my last resort. I actually found the librarain job thru the newspaper! :-3

Up up & away ! Night & day between your last post & this, good for you. Solutions only come when we ask questions, keep it up.

Thanks again everybody. Even though right how my home pc isn't connected, I can still log on at school and at the library.

I didn't get that job, but had an interview today at an office with only me and a man. He is a real estate appraiser. And the job pays $13 an hour, 5 hours a day, and the hours I can vary if I need to for school, he said. It is for an administrative position. Only me and him. It would be great to only have one person to work with, instead of a huge office full of people. I responded to an ad in the L.A. Times. And he called me this morning. An hour after the interview, I called him back and told him that I am really interested in working there and that I think he and I could get along. He said thanks and all that, and that he will call me again before he makes a decision. And that he had a few more resumes and that he is going to consider me for the job. !!!!

I also put my resume in for a job here at school.

I have to be out of the shelter by the 19th. But I already have my new place and the furniture moved in and a deposit on the place. I just need to come up with the rest of the rent. ($550) I am waiting for my grant from school that is supposed to be this week.:guitarist

Tonight I have my life drawing class.

Saffron you really inspire me, you are feeling depressed yet you keep ploughing ahead with things..... that is the way you will get over this low spot, you have displayed that you have drive and guts and are not afraid to use them.

Good on you, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and while you keep ploughing ahead you will be sure to find that light ....:-6 :-6

Thank you.

I just had an interview at Knotts Berry Farm for a p-t job. They didn't want to hire me, as I could not work on the weekdays, as I may get that other job I have just interviewed for. So then the lady in HR at Knotts went ahead with the interview anyway. She said they'd get back to me in a few days. I may be already working at my new job by then.

So the man at the place I interviewed yesterday said this morning that he is going to go thru the other resumes and that he is considering me for this job. And said he is gonna call me in for a 2nd interview.

It is only tuesday and it feels like a weekend. It is pouring rain here today. A very depressing day.

I have been sleeping better with the pills and during the day I feel much better. I am just so broke, I cannot stand it. I cannot even drive my car, for fear of using the gas.

My dad is sending me some money tomorrow in the mail.

Everyone think some good vibes up for me, that I get hired at one of the jobs I applied for this week.

Good luck Saff. I know that feeling, Im sure we all do. Its rough being broke, very rough. Take the 1st thing that comes your way and make the most of it. Gotta do what we gotta do right ? Think about the big picture as well, your in school preparing for your future so this wont last forever.

Hi, thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

My car is out of gas, down to the last few drops. And I drove all the way to school. I cannot miss any more classes. And this is important. I guess i will find someone to borrow a few bucks from in case I need to go to the next interview. This is scary.

It's very safe where i am living. People actually care about us at this church. I was thinking this last night as I was falling asleep. It is better than where I was living. And it is a church shelter. They actually make sure we are okay, by walking thru where we all sleep in the middle of the night with a flashlight. I feel much better living in a church shelter than in the house where i used to live.

And the woman who owns the dirty home where I've just moved from had gotten her cell phone disconnected. She has not given me back my $300 deposit. And now i cannot call her. I will hate to have to drive all the way back over there.:-5

My mother is communicating with me again, by email. I asked her to please forgive me for screaming at her. She wrote saying of course she forgives me and that she loves me.:-1

Thats good, keep your family close. Families can be a real pain but they are the ones that truly care.

Yes, but my mother moved out of State right before this all happened with me. And I miss her so much. My father lives out past Palm springs, but he has been talking to me and returning my calls, thank God.

I just tried to call my old place of residence to get my deposit and her phone is disconnected. probably cannot pay her bill again.

:-2

Well tomorrow is a new day, maybe I will get hired and maybe the day will be sunny. I just need to borrow some gas money. Oh how i hate this.

I hate to even bring it up but if your down to a drop of gas could you sell plasma or pawn something ? You dont want to get stuck on the side of the road and get towed.

I have enough to get home, and then some. My car goes forever on reserve. But I am still going to look for someone to borrow from.

All of my belongings are already moved to the new place. I have a few things with me. but most of my belongings are already moved, and also in my storage. Now that i think of it, I do have a ring my dad gave me that I can take to a pawn shop. I just hate to do that. But I just may. I have done it before and they gave me $40. Hmmm, thanks for the ideaa.
