Hi Spikes!
I am sorry you are experiencing such a difficult time.

I sometimes feel much like you are describing. No fun! I often am not sure of how to hang in until I can get to the other side of things.

I agree with fern. I think distraction is a very helpful tool when we are feeling down and out and/overwhelmed.

I am in a place in my life where I could give up because it all feels so hopeless. Yet, when I spend a day keeping busy with distractions, I do so much better.

Our brains need a break from whatever we might be obsessing about. Our bodies often need a break, too.

It can be tough to get into distractions; yet, it is not impossible! It may take some practice. : )

I am so grateful for distractions! I'd truly be nuts without them.

I hope you can take this hour-by-hour, day-by-day, etc. That's the strategy I must use when feeling overwhelmed.

It's not long before you see your therapist. I hope you can hold on until she sees you!?

I think it's great that you could reach out here! We'll do our best to support you through this very trying time.
