Sorry if I'm rewinding the thread a bit, but been a busy week.. This would be my analogy:I would maybe liken it to a slippery slope. You're tootling along, everything ok, then a couple of things go wrong and it knocks you. Something else happens that maybe wouldn't normally bother you, but because you're a bit down already, you sink a bit lower. You're now a bit more touchy, so even the slightest things send you off on one. Don't know if that makes sense, but it's how you deal with it that matters.
You're the one in the barn, and some unpredictable stranger (called Life) is on the trailer..
Your neighbours all seem to have neatly-stacked barns, and you're making a tidy enough job too. But then you have to deal with several awkward-length bales, and you get a thistle in your finger, and the engine seems to speed up, before you know it you have a heap at the end of the elevator, then a burst bale, and there's still more bales coming at you...
I would echo @Ali and others, to anyone reading this who feels they can't cope, that this is as good a place as any to start, it's easy to register if you aren't already a member, none of us know who you are (even if you live next door), put your thoughts and worries into words, then you can start making your life worthwhile again
