Ar - Thanks for the feedback. There are things happening in my life that are anxiety preoducing. In the last two months, I have bought and redone an 80 year old house plus my boyfriend just filed for custody of his three kids - which will make me a fulltime mom. Yikes! I know that the point is not to dull out all feelings; I am just having a hard time with handling everyday tasks and that, in itself, is depressing......
