Man.....this is so sad to hear. All I can say is that you have do things for you. Not everyone else. Stress is just that, its just stress. Shake it off. My fiance teaches elementery school and every morning when she gets in she has the kids "shake their sillys out". It gives the kids a moment to isolate their energy and release it. That might sound dumb to an adult but I work in a very high stress, high pace enviroment and somtimes I will basically do the same thing with my stress. Shake it out.
Sometimes that just means standing up and literally shaking it out like your warming up for a basketball game.....sometimes it means going out for lunch by yourself and just enjoying being alone for a moment......occasionally I just tell everyone at work that I need to take off for a while.....and sometimes, I just come on here and vent.
You need to take time to do things for yourself. There are many breathing techniques and relaxation techniques which people teach, but have never been helpful to me. What works best for me is to just isolate the feeling of being stressed and just shake it off.
As far as no one noticing you are gone....do you have a rep bar? If you have ever received rep. I can assure you someone will notice you are gone on the forum. I wont even get into your family....my Aunt was the token "black sheep" of the family and drank herself to death. There hasnt been a Christmas at my grandmothers where she isnt remembered....and it has never been negative. People in for family dont remember your faults, they just remember how much they would give anything....alot of times their own lives to have you back.
