Trying to find a reason to go on, even after the fire.

Tweet

I've spent the past few weeks trying to find a reason to get up in the morning and to pit one foot in front of the other. For those tuning in a bit late, October second my house, car, all my possessions, my dog and ten cats, computer, digital camera, bear making business, car, power tools (from my father), tools for the bear making business, and everything else I owned. I only had the clothes on my back and my purse. We had gone to town for my doctor's appointment. We came back to chaos on my front hard and nine plus fire engines along my street. I have spent six plus weeks trying to convince myself there really is a reason to continue. I am staying with my boyfriend, who is absolutely wonderful and will let me stay forever. He's a sweetheart!!!! But I am residing across the street and two doors east of where my house used to be. It makes things emotionally tough to put it mildly. My home was burned down by the local electrical company. So now when I see or hear sirens or see a electrical company vehicle my heart skips a beat or stops and I need to swallow extremely hard to get it working right! What's even harder is trying to find honest reasons to keep going even after losing everything. I guess this is part of the loss, the deep depression, but it's something I'm not used to. Previously, if I was this depressed I'd grab a electric drill, the circle saw blades, and cut out a couple thousand wooden circles that I used for joints in my bears. I don't even have that right now, the drill, saw blades, and bits also got burned. The past week has been very depressing...even more so after finding out that it would cost over $3000.00 to "hopefully" fix the Jeep to where it would fix smog. No one has consulted me about it, but I don't really like big cars....so...... Anyone, right now I am simply trying to find a reason to go on after the fire has wiped everything I own out of existence and left me facing a lawsuit against the company that caused the fire. The biggest thing for me is getting over the depression and wanting to cry all the time........any suggestions???????
