    I'm so sorry you're going through all of this stress.
    I know this might sound weird, but have you tried rubbing a smooth stone or silver dollar? When I get overwhelmed I do that... it obviously doesn't fix the problem, but it gives me something repetitive and easy to focus on and it kind of calms my body down.
    I hope things get better for you soon, and I hope the pending surgery and everything else goes well!

    I've done it too. I've cried in my cubicle. I'm not at that job anymore. But decorating your cubicle could help! Like one of those glowy color-changing lights you can get at Ikea or those earthy-happy stores at the mall. Bright and friendly artwork is good too! Also, you can get one of those natural light lamps, that will help. Good luck!

    I crochet, and have recently learned to knit. I find that doing that calms me down considerably, not sure if its just because I'm focusing on what I'm doing with my hands so I don't think about whatever it is that I'm stressed about or what, but it works!

    I feel your pain...in my office I'm youngest (until recently), one of only a small handfull of women, and don't report directly to the groups I support. I have no choice but hold it together.
    It can be tough, but you know what...you have to let it out. We all have that fine line and once crossed, you have to let it out. Better to cry than throw a full out tantrum (which I've seen the guys do from time to time around here).
    You don't have to always be "together". It's okay to let yourself be human. Just think...the world didn't end because you cried at your desk.
    What I've found is that I need to get sucked into something else when I get stressed. For example, I will walk to another location in the building, or read something quick on my cell phone, or heck, come to this site.
    Once you find your happy place/activity...keep falling back on that. Just know, that the world won't end if you're human and experience human emotions.

    Do you work in my office, because it sounds like you do? I also feel your pain. Just throw several kids in the picture, my third speed camera ticket in the mail today and a death in the family and it might be my blog. You know what put things in perspective for me today in cube land? My neighbor several cubes down that I hadn't seem around the office in awhile. She stopped by. She had no hair, no breasts, and looked like hell. She has been through treatment for breast cancer this last year. In the end it made all my things a little more trivial.

    Moan, b***h, complain, rant - ALL YOU WANT! That's what part of this forum is for, let it out, and make it loud! It will get better in time, hang tough, you didn't get where you are by being a total wimp... I can tell
