So I am primarily on here for PtSD but lately I've been under a lot of stress. In 2006 I was barely functional. I went on the finish grad school, move out, get engaged, got a job as a therapist, etc.

This is my story of the past 3 years. I need feedback. I am not the type to complain but I need advice on how to cope with all this.

In 2009 my fiance left me and I was forced to handle expenses on my own. I was ok for a while. About a year ago things got hairy with my job (too much stress) so I started looking elsewhere. I met someone else and was about to get engaged again over the summer. My significant other had to have emergency surgery and everything was put off. Then my uncle died suddenly.

I found myself panicking. I started to get ill and was getting horrible headaches. I very hastily took another job and was fired 3 weeks later because I found out I might have lupus. My boyfriend left me. One month later my dog (who was 13) died.

Fast forward to now. I was unemployed for 4 months and denied unemployment. I found another job and started a month ago. Things were going fine until I had a medical emergency a week ago. I was sent home from work several times over the past week but I was told I will be ok. During the course of this week, I found out I lost my unemployment appeal and then the next day my credit card company slashed my credit limit leaving me with no credit. I was also rejected from a PhD program.

Even writing this, it's a lot. If you can all help me get some perspective I'd appreciate it.
