Ha, I picked the photo knowing that smoking is often used to relieve stress. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling overwhelmed. When I become overwhelmed, I feel anxious, scattered and fragmented. Caring for ourselves and others can both be helpful. But I find the more I nurture myself, the more I'm able to nurture others. Thank you for your willingness to be vulnerable here, Melonie. You're a kind person and deserving of compassion.
