[quote=Anonymous]OP I am sorry you are going through this. I had declining parents (and have one still alive) while spouse was very ill. I could not have survived it without exercise, therapy and finding ways to laugh. I developed a pretty deranged sense of humor, but I also had traditional humor with friends. You know it's bad when even your therapist is wondering how on earth you haven't had a nervous breakdown yet. Spouse is better, but I have a lot of stressors right now and there was one day I got some really bad news and I thought "this is it, I am going down. Here comes the nervous breakdown." I was just so overwhelmed with anxiety, anger, frustration and every negative emotion. I got out weights are started lifting like crazy. I then danced to my favorite high energy music. Something about the heavy breathing, movement and my ridiculous dance moves trying to burn energy without having talent and I just felt better. I decided "Nope...not today Satan! I'm not going down! I'm gonna see this through and I'm gonna be OK! I am not going to fall apart!"[/quote]
