Dear Lisa:

You wrote: “I can’t be this stressed out any longer, I’m not eating or sleeping and my stomach is in knots”- it is clear that you are very stressed indeed. So first priority for you is to relax, this evening, tomorrow and every day, throughout the day.

Set a daily exercise routine for yourself: a 30 minute fast walk every day, and a second walk when you are especially stressed.

Download The Mountain Meditation and listen to it every day, you can listen to it once every morning, before going to bed and in between.

Research Mindful Exercises, there are magazines, workbooks, and online resources on the topic.

When especially stressed in a particular situation, take a time out-  leave and be alone for a while, or take a walk.

Listen to relaxing music, take a hot shower or a bath when needing to relax.

– Don’t return to any relationship while you are so distressed; aim at not being in any relationship whatsoever.

(You addressed me by name, but I don’t think we communicated before, did we?)
