The second week is a week for anxiety. You question everything and wonder if you are ever going to be the same again. Everyone tells you something different. They try to help by offering you advice on how to cope, but unless you go through it yourself then you don't know what to say. In some ways this week has been a sort of "wake-up" call for me. I learned that I can't give in to the feelings that swirl around me or hide like I tend to do especially when I'm stressed out.
I realized from my own experiences that I can't put myself in a place where I have no way out. I guess what I'm trying unsuccessfully to say is that everyone needs some stability and a plan to work our way out of our current situation. For some of us this will mean that we have to force ourselves out of our comfort zones even if we don't have any assurance that there will be some stability. This is especially hard for me. I admit that I need the stability of a steady job, a place to go and make a difference and the feeling that I've accomplished something.
