I too was at a point where I felt the stress was going to kill me and I understand.

It's a daily challenge, but more tolerable by accepting the current situation vs. pushing it away.

Being compassionate to others has always been easy for me, but I've had to learn to include myself in that compassion. I've been trying to eat healthy foods, get plenty of rest, go for walks and give myself mental hugs when needed, just like I would for a dear friend. It's still a work-in-progress, but it does help me to feel a little better

Always know that you're not alone.
