About Me: Male, 50, Austin - TX, member since Jun 2008
I am a 50 year old who is totally taken back by all of this that is going on with me in my life. I never thought I would be here but then who ever does? I am a Christian and pray for the strength to get better and am baffled that I cannot get the help I need or anyone t
...
[More]o take any interest in my health to treat me the right way. It has been a long taxing 6 years and I want to get back my life and get to enjoy it before it is over. How do you do that when you cannot begin to get that help or find the answer to what is wrong?? I am pretty upfront and have always dealt with issues as they come so I am not passive at all. I was a supervisor over 125 people and worked hard to get there. I made great money and I know people liked and respected me and my position.
I think I was a good supervisor and never made anyone ever feel belittled. I had good rapport with my employees and staff. I am even tempered although I had to work on that over the years through prayer. But I have always been the one that on every job I ever took, they always took me to the side and always promoted me and gave me good treatment, I can do a very good job and pride myself in that. I know that the man feels that his work is his identity and I do but I am more than that.
I was a reader, lover of the civil war, history and enjoyed football, simple things in life. I am not a drinker or big partier. I never have been overly out going but friendly. But I did enjoy going to the bookstore, or the city wide garage sales with my wife, and we went to the mall and walked around. We went out to eat, shows and things around town. I miss all of that and want it back. I cannot even concentrate now or read or do anything anymore and am on disability and do not understand it. I feel like that career was lost and that is a shame when I worked so hard to get those promotions and that kind of money. I am lost now as to what my goals are or what I want out of life? Totally.....I need help to regroup and where do you start? This is so devastating!! And....Why????
