RH - here's what I do to deal with stress. I purposefully took a low-stress job. I work out at a gym 3 times a week - I hadn't done this since 1986. I meditate every day. I take my medicines. I try to learn new things, like teaching myself how to make jewellery. I sing at the top of my lungs in the car. I write a lot. I don't listen to the news every day. I hug my cat. I love my husband.
I have a fundamental problem in how I see my value to the world. That I'm not and never will be enough. No matter how many times I'm told that I'm loved, I am still an undeserving wretch. The tears stream down my face now; sober. When I'm drunk, at least I don't have to feel it any more.
