Just found your thread and have read about how you are evolving with your issues. I was first thinking about your anger...when I am most depressed, I am easily triggered to anger and it can be explosive. When I am on a more even keel, I look at things more like you seem to be now, taking the high road and putting the situation in perspective.

The other thing I noticed was how highly regarded you are by others who have been on the threads more than I have lately. That says a lot! You should be really proud, to be valued so.

I, too, am an animal-lover. I currently live with 8 Maine Coon cats, 5 Maine Coon kittens, and 2 Havana Brown cats. But I've had dogs in my past life too--they just don't live long enough, do they?

Hoping your days go easier for you while you are dealing with all your stressors.
