Find life coach: Life often sends us challenges we don't have the skills to overcome. You wouldn't try to fix a bad appendix without help & shouldn't with this either. Find a life coach/therapist to explore your stressors & learn the skills needed to master them. Your doc should know someone locally that can help.
