Welcome Rosey. Hmmm
your words ring true of the anacronym I use ..which is used by many..HALTS
if I am stressed, overwhelmed or feeling like crap..am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired/Thirsty or Sad? Often I find eating, hydrating or sleeping WILL help. Just for that day. The other stuff? I talk to people- at meetings or professional friends- like my psychologist.
Support to you.
