Thanks everyone. I really like the timer advice. I do some things throughout the day - like I just went for an interview at a temp agency, and was focused for the hour I was there, and even felt a bit of relief. But then the misery returned. So I guess that I accomplished something, but it won't keep me going thru the day. Back to this tight drowning feeling now and crying. I can't stay above water that long. And I'm tired of constantly trying to pick myself up. I can't get interested in anything enough to distract myself or to want to do it.

Hugs to all of you

Grace
