The Disabled Diaries: Lossing an Income

With my husband losing his job and unable to even seek other employment because at the time of his job loss we found out he had an injury leaving him temporarily disabled. I went to where I find relief blogging. This is the first video in the Disabled Diaries Series.

I have Cleanorexia

Please don’t think that is a dig or a joke about people with anorexia. It’s not. But I know that psychologists have said that the trigger or foundation for eating disorders is feeling a general lack of control. Meaning a person will try to exert control over their weight. Thus creating a feeling of security leading to obsession in the form of an eating disorder.

With that in mind I have unprofessionally diagnosed myself with Cleanorexia. For the past five years I’ve felt like the queen on a chess board and prosperity and trials are the ones moving the pieces. From financial failure, to challenges with my children, to marital issues, health and wellness occurrences, my family and I have endured what I imagine many people have in recent months and years.

When those times began I started cleaning, organizing, selling anything we didn’t need, couponing, making my own laundry detergent. You name it. If I could do whatever made me feel productive, prepared, or in control I did it.

Last night after having several hours of an amazing and empowering networking event I came home to my husband saying these words, “I may not have a job as of 12/1/12.”
