| I think we all have times when life becomes "just too much." For me, when this happens, I just need something to help me escape from all the **** that's caused the stress in the first place...maybe you could take a "mental health day" from work and just "veg." If you're in the mood to hang with friends, go for it...if not, find a good murder/suspense novel and lose yourself in it..or watch a stupid TV show, just for fun. So many times, we get so busy with day to day life that we forget to just enjoy ourselves...find something you really like to do and take time to do it. Main thing is to realize that "this too will pass." Though stress sometimes feels like it's going to be constant, things WILL get better. Just be gentle with yourself until it does.
