I have taken steps to overcome my rage at this stuff. Anyone familiar witih Dr. David Burns' workbook "Ten Days to Self Esteem"? It is not just about self esteem, it's a real problem solving tool. I'm using the Daily Mood Chart to calm down. One of the most important steps I need to take in these situations is to just let go, STOP the "activity perseveration" as I call it, and do something else. Even postpone the attempts for a day or so. I need to remember that it does not have to be solved "RIGHT THIS MINUTE."
