There are so many times I wish I could just get in my car and drive just drive along way away and never look back. But, running is not the answer either. Just take a few minutes each day maybe a walk or something to clear your mind the best you can. Yes, I know it is easier said then done. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Thanks, I hope so too! I also often keep my feelings to myself, which can indeed make it worse. At the same time I usually get frustrated trying to talk about it because I can't really get the point across, at least not to my wife. I imagine it's hard to really understand it unless you have it. I suppose that's why my therapist is so valuable to me.
