...help...

[Catty1]

Right now I am just plain SCARED.

1. I live in one of two condo buildings. The Reserve Fund Study was just handed out. That just shows what repairs have to be done in the next few years - and they are major...two boilers, new roof being the biggies. We knew this was coming.

With the price increase in NG, and these repairs, the monthly condo/maint fees will go up an average of $200 per month. I pay $320 right now, and having a 2 bdrm means my increase will be above average.

I can't afford to live here if that is the case. There is a meeting on the 24th...I am suggesting either a Special Assessment - a one time payout for repairs - or peddling these 30 year old buildings to a developer and getting some form of payout.

My realtor - a good guy - thinks I should sell and get out NOW - so I am just trying to see what he and I can put together as far as another place to live...

2. I am a bag of nerves again...just really jittery. Though my present bosses are nice and fair people, I am reacting to my job the way I used to - getting more and more stressed and fearful until I get too sick to work any more.

I am taking today, and hopefully tomorrow, to work on these 'old tapes' so I can look forward to going to work. This long meltdown started over a week ago, and really crashed on Wednesday night...add one for Friday.

Just want good thoughts, and prayers, and everything, as I am telling myself I am loved, and a good and intelligent person - and I can be healthy and will be so starting now.

Using the Law of Attraction (God, etc) - I will be making a list of everything I want in life, and believing it is on its way to me. In addition, I will be replacing destructive thoughts with good ones.

I want to call my bosses and say I am trying to trade off tomorrow with the other gal (waiting for a call back) and I am terrified.

My mind has turned them into monsters...and they are not. My mind is confusing them with other bosses who have been...not healthy for me.

THANK YOU for listening.

Candace,

You ARE a rock here on PT. You are always the one cheering everyone else on when they have problems.

Know that I am here for you, girl. I'm only a phone call away.

You'll be in my prayers.

[jenluckenbach]

Prayers for YOU, Candace! Things will work out, one way or other. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

[Catty1]

...wow...thanks so much - and I got a phone call too!

I really appreciate the support - it's hard for me to ask.

I do feel better now - ALMOST enough to go to work tomorrow...

Gotta put myself first right now.

{{{hugs}}}

Having a potential threat to your living space is enough to throw anyone for a loop! But do you really think everyone else who lives there CAN make the monetary adjustment? Try to keep that in mind and work towards the meeting on the 24th; see what others are saying, feeling. Heck why wait, talk to some of them now!

If someone else had posted this, you would now be posting links and major threads with ideas, suggestions, and information for them. I only wish I had the creativity and search skills to do that for you. As that is mot my particular forte, you will have to accept cyber {{HUGS}}.

We're all here for you!!

Fear and projection suck . The best thing I heard once was "I've had a million crisis' in my life and 2 of them actually happened".

Whatever happens, it and you will be ok

I am telling myself I am loved, and a good and intelligent person - and I can be healthy and will be so starting now.

The former you are - and the latter you fully will be.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way.

[Daisy and Delilah]

More {{{{{HUGS}}}}} and prayers for you, Candace. I hope you're much better today.

This is so true. I hope your realtor can work something out for you.
In the meantime, try to look at your "job time" as a temporary release
from your worries about the condo. It's not productive to worry 24/7.

Hope you hear better news soon.
