Accepted Answer

Find a life coach: Life often sends us challenges that we do not have the skills to manage. You wouldn't try to fix your bad appendix on your own &amp; shouldn't try to fix this either. You should see your doc to rule out a medical problem. If you are okay there s/he can recommend a life coach/therapist who can explore the issue &amp; teach you how to deal with this. That is what they do. Do the work &amp; life can be better.
