AngstyLady, I feel your pain. There have been times regardless of my age I just felt everything I did turned to compost. Sometimes the best thing one can do is just let go, go for a walk, watch a movie, drive the car, ride a bicycle, take a hot shower, eat a pizza or ice cream, call a friend on the phone, take a hot shower, love up the cat or dog or take a nap. Just distract yourself from your own mind and you will come back refreshed with clarity. It works for me, hasn't failed yet. Other things I cannot change are different.
