1) I'd like to thank my hormones for helping me achieve that special level of distress I was experiencing earlier this week. &%@)*!&!!!!
2) Substitution: I know that this is likely also about someone else. So, I've tried to think about the someone else, and that helps a bit.

All of your support is appreciated !!!
