I am trying to learn how to tolerate feelings of all kinds now without feeling myself slip into the abyss, as someone so eloquently put it above.

---------------Noa--
Every time I scroll past this thread, I'm struck by your use of that delightful adverb "grumpy." What a healthy, situation-specific, time-limited connatation it has--such a *normal*-sounding negative term. It's definitely sounds better than "depressed," "hopeless," or "overwhelmed." Finally, I just had to stop to congratulate you on making it to "grumpy." May the trend continue!
Well wishes---medlib
