In reply to the discussion: Everyone is feeling the stress of these last few days...I am, too. [View all]Mz Pip
(27,442 posts)13. I wish I could do that!
I don't get freaked over things I can control but I sure do over things I can't.
I'm pretty stressed now but I have an art exhibit coming up that keeps me busy and I am reading junk fiction that keeps me entertained. I also am watching a charming British mystery series called Midsomer Murders - pretty scenery, interesting characters, good dialogue. Just trying to keep busy until it's over.
I know I have no control over this but it's impossible to just let it go.

It's not really stress that bothers me, it's the overwhelming sense of helplessness.
