s h t f stress

[Rush2112]

agree with what BP said. Take it one day at a time. Don't worry about next week and all the what if scenarios, just survive today. Its like what recovering addicts do: don't think about not having a drink/drugs for the rest of your life, just focus on not having it today.
Secondly try to keep everyone busy doing something. If we sit around thinking of how bad things are, it will make it worse.

As it seems most of the folks on here are of the more mature variety, think back to all the ups and downs in your life. Did worrying help? Did the bad times last forever? In times of stress I like to repeat to myself the phrase: " This too shall pass."
