Why chase the problem when the problem can come to me (and so does the high blood pressure)

It seems that lately my blood pressure has been rising. My patience has been lowering. My life stuck in a rut somewhere in the middle. What can I do? Who can I turn to? In emo-ish words, I'm in a dark place that no one can help but myself. But is this true? What can be done? Only my true friends can help out and because of them I have been able to be positive. As they look in this "dark place" they tell me it's ok and they cheer me up. There is purpose!
