@sandymom I get it. Avoiding stress is mostly unrealistic. How we cope with stress is what I ought to have said. I can tell you I am not any type of guru on a mountaintop. I have learned better at times how to cope with stress. Can assure all just breathing has not helped me one bit. We are in this together.

I get it. Really, I do. Hugs. Stress, even in my good life, was morning noon night. Avoiding stress, was like...try not to breath. Oh...really? My husband was/is 100% disabled PTSD. I know stress. Well.
