The thing about frugality is to keep moving. Keep realizing that there is plenty of things you can do. It's all about your mindset; so long as you don't turn yourself into a victim, you'll pull through. Read frugality blogs and websites. Turn to your cooking, trying out new, cheap (but tasty) recipes. I suggest a copy of The Tightwad Gazette, if you can get it from your library. (You'll laugh, but do you have libraries in Canada?)

As far as the unhappy, stress-type stuff, you're on the right track with the knitting and writing. I would suggest a fish oil supplement for Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. You might want to think about investing in a full-spectrum lightbulb/light if the night shift is going to be a long-term part of your schedule. Mieszko knows people who suffer from Seasonal Affective disorder who use those with great results.

Sorry if I came across as sanctimonious, but I totally know where you are with this, considering I was sobbing into my dish water yesterday, over the stress of being the only full-time employed while he's in school. :)
