sometimes i get overwhelmed
i don't really know what to do sometimes my work has a lot of challenges and i have to work hard at not making things worse.
I suffer the same, sometimes the storm is just to much!!! I try and pace it off when things become to much, my biggest suggestion would be a support dog! Mine is amazing!! They love unconditionally, no fear of abandonment or being left! Mine loves me and give me so
much!! He motivates me to exercise and make him happy, he can feel moods and wil come to me and give me that extra attention I need, just a thought from someone who understands best wishes

oh man that sounds great.
@sleepingmule Sorry that your work has many challenges, I can see why would be overwhelming! It can be difficult to try and manage our emotions and not let them get in the way and like you said "make things worse". It's good you reached out and said you were struggling, it can be hard to do that at times 
@halplo88 Pets and support dogs can be a great company, that's for sure! They really sense moods and it's always a nice feeling to have them, even just to distract us or be with us. Not to mention, they are adorable and funny, in the right amount!
There's many ways we can manage our emotions, it's all about finding the best one for us. Some love the company of animals, some to let them out be it by venting or journaling, or expressing themselves through art/music, going on walks, exercising - the options are endless! Also, it's okay to not be okay, and as you can see - we're here to support each other, as a community.
@eviesweet i've made a commitment with therapist to go through the dbt material again. i think that is helpful it's been a few years though.
