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.
