control of. Such as, don't read the HOA stuff, don't watch disturbing events on tv, etc.

I have found to watch more of the silly or funny stuff on tv - at least for a little while - does me good. Listen to soothing music. Eat comfort food. Go to the DU Lounge.

Hang in there. Sounds like you have overcome great obstacles in your life before, and I guarantee that you will continue to do so.
