"My house is a mess, my husband is irritated with me, my sister and her husband arrive for a visit tomorrow night, my car died, I have to make something for dinner, and my entire world feels like a half empty glass."
I would feel overwhelmed by even one of those things. Family visits are ultra stressful for me as I come from a background with lots of emotional abuse. I get overwhelmed by any mechanical problems especially car problems, and when my husband is upset with me, I usually feel like it's the end of the world, and when my house is a mess, well... my house is always a mess.
I don't blame you for being stressed out. I wish I had some profoundly good advice for you. I just hope you take it easy on yourself. Try to stay centered and in the moment because that's where happiness is. You're not alone. Keep posting and we'll help you make it through.
