Mike- I used to refer to it as "My stress glass is aways full," the smallest thing that I perceive as sressfull sets me off to lala land. I have found that if I do not control it, the intensity is worse. So, I have to engage in self talk and become very aware of my thoughts and feeling. Sounds easy but it's not, we have to be honest with ourselves and face the amount of times that we do not think right. Read some books on Mindfulness; go slow because it will get harder as you become aware of your thoughts and feelings. Be willing to say and admit when you have had enough and step back. Remember, stepping back does not mean giving up.
