Hi there! Breathe deeply and relax!
feel better?
I know *exactly* what you mean about the
vampire issue. I have severe sleeping
issues, myself.
About the job, if you go into it with this
much stress you just might make yourself
sick, and that would not be good for *you*
not the job.
If you were/are feeling better enough to
accept the job, then take it as your body
meant it. It was having a better time.
That is something to be very happy about.
Have you spoken to your doctor about your
sleeping issues? There are several things
that they can give you that are *not*
addictive. I know they have helped me
several times.
You are not dumb...That is not the way to
think about yourself. You are sick, not
dumb. Remember that...And don't let
anyone else get away with that either...
Also, there are *serious* laws out there
to protect you from being canned because
of being sick. While it is not necessary
for your colleagues to know, it does
*sometimes* help. Your boss knowing is a
good thing. They can help you with peers
that may feel you are getting preferential
treatment (days out, etc.)
be very forward and let your boss know
about the good and bad days. Also, you
may want to consider giving your boss some
pamphlets about lupus so that they know
*exactly* what you are dealing with.
Keep that promoted head high and be proud!
Hugs,

I
also took on a promotion and was very
nervous. I felt I was too old (46) to
start learning something so different, etc
but I was approached in my company and
interviewed and got it so I am assuming
they have faith in me and you must have
interviewed for your job and sometimes
people see something in us we don't. So
don't panic - and just try and do your
best. I know I had a awful stressful job
2 years ago when I was hospitalized and
diagnosised with the lupus and I never
want to have that happen again, so just be
calm and have the same faith in your work
that others have.
