[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 551672"] I totally understand where you're coming from, including PTSD but without health issues beyond arthritis. I'm broke, overweight, have a bad back, and am the opposite of a girlie-girl. Since I am a single parent of 2 difficult children, I totally get the feeling of frustration and isolation and being overwhelmed. Therapy helped for awhile because I could dump all the s*** on her and not have to carry it around by myself. Just venting helped the stress. I stopped because I started sounding like a broken record and therapist got frustrated because her suggestions weren't options for me (she was married with easy child kids). Financially, we are barely scraping by. What I find helps me is LOUD music on the radio while I'm driving to and from work, grocery store, ect. I also stay up for at least an hour after my kids go to sleep to do whatever it is[B] I [/B]want to do. Sometimes that means putting my headphones on and crank the volume up on my MP3 or even just my CD player. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} and tons of support!! [/QUOTE]
