II am on such an emotional rollercoaster. One minute I'm calm, the next I'm in a panic, the next I'm crying, and the next I'm ready to give up on everything.
It gets better with time. And understanding. You're on your way. Great news - you own it! You alone control your happiness! Think about that. Accept it. It is empowering.

They are trying to help. Tell them politely that you apprciate their concern, but that you haven't given up yet, you don't think it is hopeless, but you can't afford having them tear down your hope, or efforts, etc.

It may seem crazy to some of you, but my faith that God won't give me more than I can handle is what gets me through each day.
Doesn't sound crazy at all.
Hang in there! You will be ok (actually good or great) down the road, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
Hugs, Nomo
