I've been doing quite well of late considering how much I have worked. I have not had a full day off of work since the 15th of this month, and will not have one off until this Sunday, the 1st of August. Some of the shifts are sleep shifts, so it's not so bad, but it's still time away from home and with responsibilities. Considering the hours put in (118 in two weeks) and having the family at home, I've done much better than I thought I would, which pleases me. It tells me I've learned a lot more about taking care of myself and pacing myself when I know I need to.
Still, I know there is still some deep issues I'll need to work out stemming from my time in the hospital. Quite a few things got put on hold, which was necessary at the time, and I think need to come out now. It's been four years since that time, and while I knew it would always stay with me, it amazes me how much power it can still hold over me. The horror of the time is still very much a part of me. On the other hand, it probably amazes me even more how much I've recovered from it and moved on.

Sounds like things are better for you. I am glad to here it!
The old saying Rome wasn't built in a day is true for so many things. Time is the only way it could have been built. As such, time is needed to work some things out, no matter how good or bad.
I am glad you made it though your hectic work schedule.
sorry, the previous comment was be me. I forgot to put my name there.
btw, what ever happened to my other post on Fear, it says there are two comments there, but I only see one.

Not sure. This site seems to be a bit buggy at times. I do remember you posting, but also do not see where the post has gone.
