I want to say - Go Easy on yourself.
But I know it is extremely extremely hard to do.
Something that helps me when I am hurting too much, is to completely switch off feelings. And operate from my brain. I just decide sometime that I will feel later, and I completely take control of the situation from my brain. Not sure if it is a right thing to do, but that has been one of the major survival mechanism for me. When you are so immensely hurting, sometimes it might help to not just look into the feelings anymore.
I don't know how others cope up with lot of stress - in India, people just talk about it non stop to everyone they know, and there are lot of people around, so usually they get better after talking the same thing over and over again to atleast 20 - 30 people. That might work here on this board. Try to write again and again.
