> It's so easy to generalize things. When one thing goes wrong, it could easily seem to have the domino effect, and soon enough the rest of your world seems to have gone wrong, too.
> A good way to overcome this is to "step out" of your current world, and open yourself up to new experiences. Take risks. That's what I did today, and I don't feel so much a "wreck" now. My life has changed for the better today just because of this.
> I signed up with another agency. They had a new assignment pop up earlier today that could last 6 months but it requires a 12 hour work day, plus overtime on top of that. I was not crazy about the hours, however, it would pay more than my last one. It offered something I've never made before, so there was no way I could turn it down. If this thing works, all I have to do is work my buns off for the next 6 mo, save as much as possible, then be much better off than I am now.
> All this just because I got my buns out of bed today, and forced myself to be brave and keep pounding the pavement and knocking on doors, instead of laying in bed feeling depressed and hopeless and scared of the future.

> The key for better health and integration is to pace yourself, keep working on looking for what you need to make your life less stressful, whther it's a job with income, finding the right health club, a decent place to live, etc. and sooner or later something will come up if you just have patience.

> I am no longer a wreck. Although my future plans have been delayed, at least I am no longer a wreck because I don't fear not having a place to live anymore. I don't like that fear. That's my second greatest fear. And it seems that just might have been taken care of. (Hopefully).
