Mari,
I am glad you took the nap. THe lack of sleep can beat up a person for sure.

BF,
I use the same method. Sometimes it is something that I want to be upset about and don't want to lose the moment, so I slow breath and let it pass slowly. Memories that I enjoy, but I am missing my dd. I want the heartach to stop, but keep the memory going.

Feels like a broken heart...

When people talk to you like that, I would say judge not less they be judged. Certainly no one has the right to belittle, or judge as they do not walk in the same shoes.
Hugs to you
Di
