Have you thought about keeping a journal, Marilyn? Sometimes it is very helpful t write down your feelings.

I'm not a great believer in just "getting over it" for myself. I need to "go through it before I can get through it." I need to feel whatever I feel and work it all out.

I'm also a great believer in saying no. I do not allow stress in my life it possible.
Of course, when I was a young woman, I did as much as I could do in one day, and then began it all over again the next day. When I felt worn out though, all I got was feeling worn out. I didn't get kudos for all of my effort. A lot of what I did was for myself, and that felt great, but I cut back on doing so much for others.

I'm not selfish. I just take very good care of myself.
