I have actually had 2 since quitting, and neither one made me feel horrible. I think I still prefer cocktails, though (but good ones, not sugary girly shit).
The biggest news of all is that my stomach problems are GONE. Completely. I feel great.
;D
I was SO hoping for this update. I'm not sure if I said this earlier, bc I didn't want to downplay your symptoms, but h went through the exact same thing. He was so sick all the time, everything he ate made him feel awful, always in the bathroom... Once we packed the car and pulled out of shitty ass job town, he was completely fine. Barely 24 hours between being sick and being fine. It was all stress. I was really hoping you'd experience the same thing.
I'm just super happy you're loving this transition.
So glad to hear that everything's going well, and I'm happy to hear about your medical issues (though I'm not at all surprised that they were exacerbated by your job)
Yay! I'm so happy for you!! I've been at the law firm from hell and know how badly it sucks, so I always felt for you when you posted. I know it's such a relief and like a huge burden is lifted from your shoulders to get out of a situation like that.
I'm visiting a good friend in DC on the last weekend in November/first in Dec. Let me know if you are still bored and want to hang out.

Isn't that crazy?
Also, thanks for not pushing that too hard. I was doing all that I could to cope - therapy, drugs, behavioral changes - and I think I'd sort of hit a plateau on improvement. I was holding out hope that there was something physically wrong with me, just because I didn't want it to be all in my head.
But now that I'm gone, the difference is so unbelievable. I think my stomach has hurt three times in the last three weeks.
Even last weekend when I was back to visit H, he said that he didn't want me to return to D.C., but that he could tell I was doing so much better.
kimi, he's coming in June. I got to go back shortly after arriving here, and we will see each other at least once a month for the next four months. He's actually going to be spending over a week here after the New Year.

Congratulations! I'm so glad it's working out. Kitties will adjust and don't worry, I too missed my cat more than DH at times. The first couple of months all back together, I think DH felt left out, but was glad we were all back together.
