Hi Taz. I am sorry to hear your having a 'rubbish time'...

I want to give my sympathy to you and your parents for the sad loss of your dog. I can relate to the terrible upset of that and I know how distressing it is for the family.

It does sometimes feel that we are bombarded with bad things all at once. If we're already struggling, just having one upset can be unsettling ,so when there is a few around the same time it causes our already emotional state to become 'frazzled' and we feel it is all too much to take. Our negativity about our life goes into overdrive and we just feel worse, we can become more anxious and depressed...

If you think about what was THE thing that happened to instigate your feelings of emotional upset, most likely it is this one thing that has caused your present feeling.The other's are probably by no means of equal significance, and if they occurred at separate times you would most likely be able to handle them better... Remember, these difficult periods pass. Your ear infection will clear and you will feel better.

Here are a couple websites I've found useful...
