I think more people, than any of us realize, are a bit stressed. It's been a tough year. So bad that you don't know if there's light at the end of the tunnel or just a darker darkness. Typically, when we face hard times in a period of our life it is one or two things. However, when the bad things happening keep coming one after another, well, it becomes a little tougher to rebound. Your not different than the rest of us. As a matter of fact, I would almost say those less affected might be the exception. However, we just get up everyday and do what we do and press on. Fortunately, I've not had much disruption this year because my work wasn't interrupted and I've tried (not always successful) to stay less involved in the news and those things I have no control. We have enough family drama at the moment to keep us going right now.
A Dr. told my wife once (not sure if she translated it to me correctly or if the information was correct) that when a chain of bad events occur one right after another, it becomes a little difficult for the mind to rebound. It has something to do with producing seratonin or one of those chemicals the brain produces to help us deal with stuff. Sometimes a Dr will prescribe an anti-depressant for a short time to help the brain start producing at normal levels again if that makes any sense (I probably butchered the hell out of it).
Anyway, keep you head up brother. I think sometimes things pile on and then the littlest of stuff effects us more than it should because, well, we get tired of dealing with it. So, I would just go mow the yard if I was you and make it look GAF, then grab a beer and look at the accomplishment and build from there. As tough as it is to stay positive nowadays, do your best to be your best and screw it if you break down every now and then. We're only human right?
