It's difficult to focus when there are many, many, many challenges bearing down like sandbags on your shoulders. You know how your site (if you started one) has days of low traffic and days of high traffic? Well, look at the long term. Did your site increase month over month? If yes, then keep pushing forward. If not, then step back and think about why your not moving forward. This too shall pass ~ honestly, I always thought that was BS, but if I look back at all the times I was overwhelmed with work, and think about how quickly I dug my way out, it's true. It all passes.

Have you seen a doc? No shame in that.

I am seeing a psychologist. I considered taking meds but decided not to due to possible long term side effects (IMO... to each his own regarding long term risk I guess)
