So sorry things are so tough for you.

If you won't call a suicide hotline or look for a new therapist, will you try Yale's Science of Well Being course?

1st videos are available immediately upon sign up & those who have tried it have reported feeling better after watching the 1st video.

Watch Stutz on Netflix? (Netflix offers a free 30-day trial.)

Start a gratitude journal? Just number & list 3 things you're grateful for before bed. Reread entire list each night just before bed.

Try James Pennebaker's Journal therapy?

Punch a pillow. Thfow ice cubes at a sidewalk...

Hugs to you my friend.
