My life has frequently been this complicated. Friends tease and say I'm Loki's love child. I've learned to just live through it. Not necessarily "one day at a time," but just today. Right now.
The best advice I can give is: Don't get bogged down explaing to well meaning strangers why your stressed, upset, or having trouble this week. Their sympathy is often pity and can greatly reduce your resolve and ability to cope. If pressed I tell people "I come by my paranoia honestly" or "there's a two drink minimum for that story, you buying?"
