I hope you work through your issues quickly and return your emotions to a more stable and preferred state.
I wouldn't personally 'compare' problems. I don't subscribe to the 'there's always someone worse off than yourself' cliche as it's not the negative situation itself that's the problem, it's how that negative situation makes an individual feel that's the issue, and we're all unique and are affected differently.
You're a clever bloke. So go with your science; Analyse. Formulate a possible solution. Act. Preferably after a beer!
I don't mean to be selfish and dismissive of your problems, but if you could try to keep writing your usual posts whilst dealing with things. I, for one, would be grateful as there is generally sweet FA to read of any quality on here, and your informative and beautifully constructed contributions are one of the few shining lights in this cesspool of inane nonsense.
Best wishes. Take your time.
