Welcome to BUS, and to coping :moo:

Sorry you're having a difficult day. There's heaps of things in the List of coping strategies you can do if you feel that way again.

you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been,
and there you long to return..."

Heya and welcome to BUS and coping also :moo: cow for you too :P

Sorry something has upset you that much, I can only really offer no more than that link Licentia Poetica has already given you, it's worth the 20 minute read :) That in itself is a distraction :wink:

Take care of yourself :)
