I get it j. 

Last night I hit the wall.  I've been stuffing my emotions in an effort to stay strong for my wife who is worried, like most of us, about a lot of C19 related things.  I came to bed and right away she asked, "What's wrong?" and I just lost it, just totally lost it.  After I settled down a bit, I told her I was sorry and that I've been trying to be strong.  She totally understood and said it was alright.  I think it was good for me and, maybe even in a way good for her that I showed my emotions.  But what I need to work on is keeping a handle on stress.  I can feel what that is doing to me and how stress could be worse for me than anything else right now. 

So anyway, yes, I understand and hope you are hanging in there.  Thank goodness for my wife and thank goodness for the internet and for the Pearl Jam fan club site where we can come together and share our feelings and give each other encouragement. 

So best wishes to you and to all here, you good people!

I can only imagine.  Concentration is difficult at times like this.  Maybe when things start feeling a little more routine school will give you something to focus on and give you time to think about things other than the difficulties. 

That's probably what I should do here soon- find something to focus on, a project or a goal. That's how I got out of my major- almost life ending- depression in the late 90's.  I got involved in something I felt good about by working at our local health library.  That and taking classes helped me to keep going.

That sounds like a good idea, Brian. Get involved with something.

Rob, how are you and your family doing?

Our health is ok as far  as i know.  
But i cant explain  whats happening  here. Tempo n groove video called me from new york last night . And a dear friend is stuck in poland with her baby son. Whilst here i went to the pharmacy  for my son then again for my daughter  in law who is in isolation with a 3 month old with colic. I went and got food for my mum and my ex wife and my kids . Ive done so much for others and all i do is cry and cry.  Im running on empty. I lost a stone in weight and im whimpering  and restless when i try  and sleep. This cant go on . I dont come on the forum anymore because  the ocd in me can't  stop looking at the thread about it. We are living it now and i will never be able to ever trust anything  . This wont stop even when it stops for everyone else. I love you all and i love my family  but i am afraid i will just one of these days say thats enough for me. Im still sober. And weed free. Although i wish i was free enough  to enjoy my last weeks. Im not . I think im Destined  to die sad and heart broken.  Im sorry its a negative  post and nobody needs that . I try not to do that. But its what it is atm.
