Thanks, Sunny. I'be been busy most of the weekend trying to read and come to trms with my thoughts and feelings.
I have always enjoyed "my music" (being a musician,too,) but I have found recently it isn't doing what it used to. I am currently unable to play but only listen. (I plan on getting a space to play soon.) The thoughts about the situation and my self-analysis/improvements are so pervasive I don't hear it or can't focus on it.

I now see that our feelings are ALL to be used for our benefit. I have always been a 'feeling swallower' and it is an unhealthy pattern. I am now beginning to appreciate and express the as well as understand and deal with them. (Thank you Susan Campbell-'Getting Real')
Thanks again Sunny for your insight, I appreciate your checking up on me.
I have to find a way to prepare for these things. The thing I do notice is that I find myself more stable and self-assured on average but now the 'spikes" in feelings come quicker and harder. They do however, fade quicker now, too.
yesterday was the highest spike of anger I have ever felt since the beginning of this mess. Yet it was "done' in under an hour. Normally, a funk would last at least a day.
