Hey Andrew,

I just wanted to suggest perhaps looking over the resentments with each of your family members or others you are in conflict with to think about if perhaps you are being too harsh or are in the wrong in the relationship with one of them. You sound like a very passionate person. Maybe taking some time to reflect and put yourself in their shoes for a few minutes to think about how they might be thinking of you. And then if you decide that you are being to0 harsh, take some more time to of a way you can make things right with them. It doesn’t even have to be obvious — just a sentence tossed into a conversation to let the person know that you care and want to make things right.

Also, mindfulness practice (not lingering on a troubling thought) and searching for cool things to do (Google and Yelp) can help with the boredom and maybe even some anxiety. Just finding ways to relax and not have your mind on all these things bothering you, then focusing again when they do.
