Sailor,
believe me, I was just as astounded at the emotional mess I wound up in as you are. I've always been able to handle everything, until now.
Don't try to deal with it on your own; it will not work. Talk to the Doctor, and get some help with it. There are medications that work extremely well, and talking to someone who really knows what you're going through helps enormously.
Help is also found right here. When you need to talk about something, we're ready to listen.
