Halliebeth, when I get to feeling scared in that way, I turn on the TV or put music on and/or read with a cup of soup or something. I've started doing a bit of going to the library recently and have found a few really good books that are helping me.

Do you keep a journal or anything? That helps me too sometimes, making lists and writing things out, coming up with 1 or 2 "simple" things I might want to do (like make this pumpking pudding recipe I have that only has 4 ingredients and only takes 15 minutes!) and then setting out to do it (buying the ingredients, etc.). Think I'll go do that now. I dedicate my pumpkin pudding to you :-) I'll let you know how it comes out.
