A little while ago I was driving on the highway at about 75 mph on a cold evening. There had been a little bit of icy rain earlier in the day but the roads were clear. 
As I started to change lanes I lost total control of the car. I skidded across 3 lanes of traffic, stopped skidding for a moment, continued skidding forward and across another lane of traffic to finally regain control of the car.

Poshut no question in my mind that you survived so you could lead the vaad later that night. Wow! I've been waiting for so long on GYE to see one of those Vayimaen stories come to life and it finally did!

We also lack the proper words to thank Hashem
For sparing our precious PY, a remarkable gem.

So he can continue inspiring, sharing and leading,
Having saved so many (including yours truly) from aimlessly meandering,

Shining the holy light he's radiates,
So we too can use it to retaliate,
Against the evil inclination - 
To decimate and complete his elimination.......

THANK YOU HASHEM FOR SAVING PY!!!!!!!!!

באהבת עולם ועמוקה, עזה כברזל וחזק עד אין שיעור

As a stone-cold litvak (grodnian?), I am having too much pleasure in clarifying that it didn't happen last night...

He saved you the night before to enable you to say the Vaad.

Buddy, we're in direct communication with the upstairs (I say "we" referring to Shem), so we know what we're talking about.

I feel like I'm living in a fog that has taken away my ability to give it my all. I can do (most) of what I have to do (sometimes), but the fire is frustratingly just (far?) out of reach. I am pushing off a bunch of random and important things that need to be taken care of because I don't have the drive...
When this started I wasn't sure what exactly was causing this feeling, but now I think I have it figured out.
(P.S. Doesn't mean that it's goin' away so quickly...)

BH the fog has lifted, however the stress has not. There are a few things weighing on me. Some are smaller, regular life things, some are bigger regular life things. The stress is getting to me. I am having a hard time throwing myself into my learning and family, and remembering that BH none of these issues are in bad places.
I need to do better at calling people to just talk it all out, it helps me feel so much better and lighter. I am able to focus so much better afterwards.

(Special thanks to one friend who gave me that slight push today to shmooze. It really helped!)


One thing that I'm still struggling with is trying to figure out how to live with the stress/pain in a healthy way so that I can continue to grow amidst challenge.

I have discussed this with a few special GYE friends, but I am curious if anyone has any practical ideas on how to deal with this.

Shalom Brother PY,
Have you tried journaling?

Writing can be a great way to process and unload.

You can also write about good times/feelings and look back on those during harder days.

Please feel free to reach out. I'd appreciate connecting with you (via GYE, email, or phone - whatever floats your boat)

My heart goes out to you my friend. I have few words, mainly warmth and caring. I used to be plagued by stress which crippled me. There are things I started doing and now I can live with the stress. A big part of it was going to therapy for a few months to get these tools.
But I don't know if the stress is the same so... Journaling, exercising, taking time for myself, shmuzing with friends, sleep sleep and more sleep (as I type this at 2am holding the baby ). I also felt like I gained a lot from reading the big book. It took some time before any of this had a noticeable effect and I still continue to keep up with it.
