take time everyday to do something for you that makes you happy

I'm a little stressed myself to be honest.

I know what you mean and have been in a similar mood the last couple of weeks. It's overwhelming to realize you have people depending on you, and getting frustrated when it seems like one thing after another goes against you. I still appreciate how lucky I am, and I think it's important that we recognize, even when we feel we're alone, that we're not. I've always been the first to offer help to friends in need, and this became sort of a source of pride for me, and so it hurts me a little bit when I find myself in the position that I have to ask friends for help.

It's easy to help people when you're doing well, but it's difficult to recognize when we might need help ourselves. I've never been very good at asking others for help. I think the best advice I can offer is to take time for yourself, and also recognize who you have around you that can help you through what you're going through.

I sometimes tell myself "it's just a symptom". It will pass. If it doesn't make sense, it is just the symptom peaking up. Don't blame yourself or feel guilty.

I agree with Kate. In the meantime, maybe try some Diazepam or something? Sorry I can't be more help.

So you've fallen into Grief, that's 0.5 on the Tone Scale--next step up is Covert Hostility--that's 1.1--I say, go with it, see where it takes you--3.0 is conservatism--good place to be. I sometimes think everybody is going crazy on the boards--I don't fit in--we do fit in, though.
