I can't help with this, just wanted to add a few words. Stress is very difficult to deal with. I don't care how many people tell us to "cut back our stress" that is much easier to say than to do. Some of us are much more high-strung than others to begin with. Our minds seem to run all the time, we have no shut off switch. Some mornings I will wake up to a very sore jaw and teeth, only to realize I must have been clenching my teeth during the night. I have no idea how to stop it. You can't beat yourself up over being stressed, it's truly not something we can do anything about.
