Not doing very well

I feel like I have had a setback.  I can't keep my hands out of my hair.  I had something awful happen to me at work a few weeks ago, and I've been feeling really down about myself ever since then.  It feels like the only relief I get from feeling bad is to just zone out and pull my hair out.  I'm doing it on the top, on the sides, and on the back.  No place is safe from my hands. I'm even doing it while driving in the car.  How am I ever going to stop this thing? I can't stop, I can't even control it just a little bit.  Feeling sorry for myself isn't helping, but I can't figure out what to do to feel better.

So I've been trying other things to keep my hands busy.  I got a Cra-z-loom.  It's like the knock off version of the Rainbow Loom.  I love this thing.  I'm a 37 year old mom, and I love making these damn rubber band bracelets  I keep running out of bands.  I'll make a bracelet and wear it to work one day, then I will make another one the next day.  I love finding pictures on Instagram of people's bracelets and I love looking at tutorials on YouTube.  If not for those tutorials on YouTube, I probably would have not been able to figure out how to do it.  Just going by the paper instructions was making no sense at all.  Anyway, I'll just keep making bracelets. It's fun to sit in front of the TV and make a bracelet.  If I make one that does not turn out, it's easy just to undo it and start over.  I've had bracelets where I have had to start the darn thing over three times before I got it right.

I need other stuff to do. Typing keeps my hands busy obviously, but I have nothing to say.
