Why does everything fall apart at once?

All at the same time, I'm depressed, manic, angry inside, confused, facing extreme changes. It's all falling apart at once. I could handle a manic episode, or maybe even get through the depression if it weren't for my lack of job. I could probably be okay with my lack of job without my problems eating too much. I could take care of eating too much if I had a gym membership, which I need a job to have. It's a never ending circle of things falling apart one on top of the other. I can face one or two small problems, but I can't see how to handle five or six huge ones.

And how do I deal with it all? Internalize, punish myself.

I have two guys in love with me, and I'm too busy hurting myself to see if one of them is even good for me..

Everything falls apart at once because we lose perspective and control. We start feeling like the whirlwind we're stuck in has no end...and the more we try to control how we're feeling with our different means...we end up in even less control cause it just causes the storm to get worst!!!!

We need to take a step back sometimes...examine what's going on around and make a few decisions. After we do this...we come to some conclusions and decisions that help us feel better. But it's just an idea. It doesn't mean that it's going to make everything go away. :(

DON'T punish yourself, that won't make anything better. BREATHE... just try to step back and take one thing at a time. Also, really difficult but try to find a moment just for yourself. Even if it is 5 minutes to just sit and try to think of one positive thing and truely allow yourself to be happy about it. If you can't think of something, say what you would if you were talking to a friend or what they would say to you. I hope it helps, even a little.
