Stress is my biggest trigger to a huge downward spiral. I can empathize with you in regards to feeling like walking away from everything and needing to be flaky.
My problem is with lack of money to pay the bills and then the bills don't get paid and the stress gets out of control and I just want to throw my hands up in the air and say forget it, but something, I have no idea what, keeps me holding on to some hope that things will get better because things have only been getting worse for the past 2 years.
The old stress relievers aren't working as well for me anymore, but what have you tried to keep the stress from stopping you in your tracks? maybe we can share our de-stressing techniques
