Those really shit days...
I'm having a rather shit day.
Shall I start from the top, or shall I just go in order of shit-ness?

I think from the top...

1. Woke up late, rushed to work in woefully underpowered car. Got speeding ticket.
2. Got to work, was a comeplete mess when I got there. Nothing was going right. Spoke to my boss (who is one of the nicest people I've ever met)
3. Told me to come home and get over whatever it is that making me a wreck.
4. Broke car on way back.
5. Now I've had to get my mother to take my cat to the vet as he's started coughing up blood. Oh fucking joy.
6. Now sat in front of laptop, on a glorious sunny day, worrying about more things than my brain can cope with, all the while, trying to work.

Now I've rambled on, anyone care to share their really shit days and how you got over it?

Cake the Fuck Up

Well....
At least your boss seems decent enough - they've given you time to sort out stuff and recognised that you're stressed. Other than that? Write a list of things that bug you, divide it into things you can do something about (sorting out stuff with work, getting car fixed ect) and stuff you can't do anything about (Speeding fine, cat's illness ect) and focus on fixing the problems you can do something about - apart from anything else actualy seeing your problems written down kinda helps put things into perspective. Can't say I've had any realy shit days of late - things seem to be going pretty well - spent most of yesterday in london hanging out with mates and getting up to fun things. In fact other than bastard work shifts and the usual emo "why can't I have a normal stable relationship" whiny bollocks things are pretty much good. :) Hope your day improves - and if not, i'ts over halfway gone by now.

I'm going to be evicted from my home, I have no money, nowhere to live, no family or friends I could turn to, and an endless list of problems, fucked-up situations and mental illnesses to deal with. I'm not posting this to get sympathy, but please feel free to help yourself to a little bit of this: "perspective"

you should also try the

Failing that, there's always online peer group therapy.

Can you take diclofenac? They're fabulous for all kinds of pain. Must be taken with a gut protectant though or they'll burn a hole in your oesophagus alien style.

The only thing worse than my lack of willpower
is my lack of motivation to leave the house once I'm warm and cosy. So there is no danger of me heading down to the garage to buy fruit and nut. But I do want to.
