Re: I Need a Pep Talk...Very Discouraged Today

As Becky points out, we do all have our justifiable "freak out" moments! You are allowed and entitled!
My most recent was when I was mistakenly diagnosed with lung cancer and part of my lung removed, only to find out it was benign. Well, I was hysterical that they could DO this to me! That this mistake happened. I absolutly could not see the silver lining, it was not cancer! My glass was half empty. And when the surgeon said "I thought you would be happier" I wanted to kill him.
Keep the faith.
