sorry to nitpick but when i saw the title Please help me!!!! i though oy,vey , what tzuris does this person have?. i think you could choose a little less frightening title in the future. just asking. ( yes , i am the person who does imagine the worst when people are late or the phone rings too late at night) oh, and good luck with your paper.
a vort i remember.anytime you are having trouble getting a mitzvah done, being frazzled or nervous erev shabbos, or getting impatient with someone you are trying to help. we were told its the Satan getting involved because he hates to see yidden involved in mitzvahs.
