After reading the other thread ( mental health first aid ) I was thinking about mental first aid for myself. Sometimes I come back home after being really pissed off by our jerks, add a rash in the thighs, and fatigue , you get the picture. When I come home the little daughter wants something, the boy hasn't done what I asked him to do 2 days ago, and mom is compalining about something while my parents are upset (on the phone) why I didn't visit them for so long.

It is alot of pressure and its hard to keep calm and thoughts organized,. Sometimes I don't even have the peace of typing these posts without 2 or 3 interuptions.

I have managed to reduce my anger , but still I want to be able to handle myself better plus be able to diffuse other family problems while being totally depleted myself.

Any ideas on mental survival ?
As usual , many thanks to all of you .
