I'm really sorry for what you're going through. At the risk of sounding trite, I'd like to share with you two things I've found helpful on these much-worse-then-usual times of life. First, I take comfort in knowing that the cumulative crappiness is sometimes just an unfortunately coincidental timing of multiple, crappy problems. And I know such coincidences will happen time to time. So that comforts me in knowing that it's not part of some long-term, downward trajectory in my life. I'm almost too embarrassed to share this second one, but it really helps me so I will. When crappy times like you're having happen to me, sometimes the song "Mama Said" by The Shirelles [0] goes through my head. It always brings a little levity and perspective to my mood :) [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L842mz-tNBQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L842mz-tNBQ

Thanks for the words, and the song, haha. Yeah i'm aware that the issue is i'm juggling a million things right now and if i was only dealing with one at a time then any problems that come up would be trivial to deal with, but its just the nature of a minor thing going wrong on multile things all at the same time. None of these things i'm dealing with are unsurmountable if they're compartmentalised into 1 thing at a time, but when they're all at once, i get stressed. I've just gotta keep going, stop anything new coming onto my plate (within my control anyway) and just deal with these things one at a time until the list gets shorter and shorter and i feel better. Its gunna take some time though.
