Come to the Quilting Board. That will help you, believe me. It takes your mind off your problems and you can even learn a new skill. Take care. I spent 50 years of my life angry and miserable. A few years ago I had a serious emotional breakdown. I separated myself from my husband for a couple of months (I was lucky enough to be able to do that easily as we have two homes). I cleared my mind and began to look at myself instead of others. I realized that I was taking EVERYTHING that happened personally, as a personal attack. My epiphony (spelling?) came when I realized that everything was not about me and I began to change the way I received messages in my head. It has been a while now and I am doing so much better. I am so much happier and almost never angry. Now if I get upset I resolve the issue immediately quietly and calmly and then move on. A really NEW me. I hope just knowing that there are many of us out there who struggle in life and with life helps you to feel less alone. At those times, I too, became paralyzed and ineffective. I hope that your anger passes quickly and you can get back to your love - quilting. Yolanda
