Stress is my kryptonite and I seriously had to avoid being online and watching the news at some point because of the flood control issue. I was hospitalized last month because I got so stressed over what we went through processing our building permit. I have to protect my peace and I've been focusing on praying for proper resolution of the issue (I know it's just the tip of the iceberg!).

When you have anxiety and depression, you need to understand what your triggers are and what can reverse it. Seeing a counselor/doctor helps, but in the long run you need to be able to pull yourself out of the hole. I have a list of what makes me happy and what keeps me from falling in a rut.
The first thing I did when I started getting stressed was to stay offline. I spent time with my cats, did some gardening and puttered around the kitchen. My leg is still healing, so I carefully planned my activities. Then I started to plan my next sewing project. I haven't sewn in more than a month. My happiness well is running dry. Of course, together with all these activities, I pray.
