That is one bad struggle with me...trying to be positive when the stress hits..or life throwing it usual stress at you. I have been told by my spuse a few times I am too "Negitive" "too stressy" and never really thought about it till I did think about it and he was right (but again he is very stressy as well..and bi-polar to!)...... So I try and calm my self and keep the control when stress hits, and when it does hit, I fight to see the positive out of it, and not let negitive take over and ruin me and everything around me, it is a hard fight for me....
