I love my Zoloft!!!

I have been having what can only be described as panic attacks. I get really flushed and have a sense of being in an alternate reality. I talked to my dr and he gave me some Zoloft...can I tell you how much I love my dr?

A week and a half later and I am sleeping better and much less of a feeling of anxiety than I did prior. My dr thinks that I am over stimulated...work, soccer mom, taking my CAM class, managing a household. I have certainly been in a better mood the last few days.

My work is just a zoo! I am the executive director for an independent living retirement community for seniors. Which basically means that I work around the elderly...all...day...long. Don't get me wrong...I love what I do. I have a compassionate heart and love to make people happy. It's what I call "a servant's heart" and you either have it or you don't. This type of thing simply cannot be taught.

Although it is an extremely rewarding career...it also has is stress and pressures. The seniors like to get what they want and they wanted it yesterday. They don't understand that we have to make decision based on the needs of the entire community...not just the wants of a few people. They do not like change...change in their world is very bad. You should try picking out a paint color for the dining hall...everybody has an opinion on this one!

Later in another blog I will share with you the rewards and blessings of such a career...they do far outweigh the stress.

TTFN!
