We're pretty much on the same boat, I'm currently undergoing a very stressful point of my life (missed a promotion I desperately need, partner's going nuts over all our debts, parents divorcing after 18 years of marriage, my son's getting bullied at school).
I had an officemate introduce me to meditation. I dived with raised eyebrows (told you am desperate) and for the past two weeks I can honestly say am getting good results.
Nope, it didn't dramatically made my life better but I've been handling pressure and stress with more consistency and determination.
It worked for me, it could work for you, it won't hurt giving it a try. Here's the link to the website: SelfHypnosis.com
