PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER WHEN YOU FEEL LIFE IS FALLING TO PIECES

Stressed. Overwhelmed. Life out of control. There can be minutes, hours or even days like this.

Start with one piece. Deal with it or put it aside.

Go to the next piece.

Can you go it alone. Or do you need help. Then ask for help. Call a friend.

If the situation is painful and sad, you are not supposed to feel okay. It is supposed to suck.

So admitting it allows you to feel it.

Well less is more. Can you take something off your plate? Like ordering in instead of cooking.

Leave the laundry.

Order your groceries online instead of racing to the stores.

Have a cry. A really good out loud wail for as long as you need it. Get it out.

If something sad it is the right thing to do.

Tell people that tell you to be strong to piss off.
 You are strong but allowed to feel all the feelings you are feeling.

Just get through the day the best way you can.

If the situation seems unbearable, do not look too far down the road. Just be present.
