Thanks lnlyshp. A week ago, I've made the conscious decision of being optimistic in my sitch. It's often a struggle, but I find it more helpful and no less realistic than the pessimism that can engulf me.

A few of things I do to help my PMA.
- List 3 things daily for which I'm grateful. Comes from happiness science, focuses your brain on positives.
- Visualize. I try to imagine how my sitch will move to R. Visualization is a known technique of successful people.
- Some reading of high achievers that fell on my lap. More inspiring than anticipated.
- Spend less time on these boards! My sitch has stabilized anyway. Reading too much the struggles of other people brings me down.
- Patience. Time really does make things better. It's awful to have to go through these hard times, but they're not for the rest of our lives.
