Dexter-
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have not seen a therapist, and immagine it is long overdue. However I live in an extremely rural area, making it difficult to find one in my area. It would also be difficult for me to afford as I seem to just barely get by as it is. I think it would be great for me, as I feel like I could use someone to talk with who could offer a new point of view, maybe some pointers on how I can manage this change.

I read an article yesterday that said one way to eliminate getting upset over small things is to think about whether or not something would bother you a year down the road. Sounds good, but I may have a hard time just stopping long enough to consider.

thanks again
