Melatonin is helping me sleep. One tab and Im not waking up in panic.
Working side by side with Paphigleo makes a yucky job have really sweet aspects to it. Hes a damn good nurse. Money still has me worried. I juggled, and with 'Phig paying half the rent (ive never had a partner do that before. Or roomate, either. WOAH) Rent got paid. I have 7 dollars left over for the gas tank, and he said hed help me fill it if I needed to. :balloon: So my needs are met. And I just need to deep breath. Sometimes I wonder, am I stressed because I LIKE to worry? I mean, I dont THINK I like to worry. But dang, I just am not letting stuff go. I would really like to know how people handle this. Is there a spell? Coping tool I havent seen yet? For right now, Im going out to my back porch, say a prayer of gratitude for the gifts of today, Enjoy the sweetness in the air, and go to bed. Yeah Melatonin. :papac: |
Echoing Pearls, Melatonin has worked very well to help ease me into sleep and maintain a deeper one.

For myself, it depends on what is stressing me out. Work stuff I pretty much stuff until I am around someone that understands and then I vent. My personal money stuff, I feel frustrated and may mention it here and there, but other than buckling down and just doing what needs to be done, I really don't do much in that regard. If I'm upset about the treatment of someone I care about, oh, the whole world knows. :blink: I tend to play 'coulda, shoulda, woulda' a little too much and have a difficult time letting some things go too but I just kind of work through it and when it pops up again, I work through it again. Eventually, I'll find the bottom of it and be done, I hope. *wry grin* |
If I take melatonin, it gives me night terrors. Go figure.
Yep, way over stressed and anxious here, having to wait to get in to see the doc for anxiety meds....4 to 6 weeks. UGH. Gotta love the red tape. |

What stresses me out?
Oh dear. 1. Idiotic nurses. Not saying ALL nurses are idiotic. Just wondering how I manage to get the job that is supervised by the idiotic nurses. The one GOOD nurse I have is quitting. This will be my last weekend with her. Which leads me to... 2. Weekends I work. Those usually end up ending very very badly. The ADONs don't have good "staff shortage" plans in place usually. And my unit is already short 1. I usually end up getting the hardest hall because I'm the only one that knows how to do it on those weekends. 3. Hours being cut. I'm curious to see the new schedule. It was bad enough they screwed up my position when I was hired, making it part-time rather than full-time. Then they somehow thought cutting my hours by one day a pay period would go over well with me. So, if they cut my hours, and we're normally short, I don't get how that adds up. Must be some math I don't know. |
Apparently, my bosses and Damon's bosses share some connection, be it DNA or telepathy or something. :blink:
They are also beginning to micromanage the Hell out of me, which gets under my skin, since I know how to run this place and they can't even work the program at the Front Desk. |
I am just so stressed out over waiting for test results to come back in. :freak: |
I'm the money maker in my family,plus the caretaker.When i'm stressed out I pray to my lord.He reminds me just how lucky I am..and I am.When I actually think about just how lucky I am..my stress fades away.
I have nothing to fear,bring it on. :baseball: |
We camped out in the back yard. Ate hotdogs, for the same cost of staying indoors for the weekend.
We spent the weekend predominantly media free. My pulse is almost back to my normal 58, and not bounding. First time in weeks. Im back to being vampiric cold. This is my baseline. I think this is a stress reducing activity we will repeat very soon. |

I've forgotten what it's like to be left alone to work. To not hear "do this" while one of my bosses stands there laughing with another boss about...hell I dunno. *wanders off muttering obscenities about work* |
I am learning to take stress in stride.. I have stressed for the last several years over finances left from a past relationship, a house we bought and then found out she was cheating on me.. I kept the house and the mortgage. I would say I wouldnt have it any other way but the house is the one thing that is keeping us from seriously considering moving to a state we would like better... I love our house... We have so many plans for it..I just wish it wasn't in the bible belt... Hmmm... maybe we could move our house?? LOL..
Damon has helped me become the strong independent confident woman I am today... we manage things together and when I get stressed out :overreaction:he is my rock and makes me sane again... even when I am crying so much he cant understand what I am saying... lol... as he says "girls"... he doesnt always understand me but he is always there anyway! Thank you baby I love you! Sometimes I have to remember that life sometimes hands you lemons and you just have to learn to make lemonade.. |
:insane:.or atleast some days it sure feels that way when the stress gets to me it's overwhelming.

I am a stressed out wreck since the flood.
Finally I do tink we have everyone I know with a place to live, so now, I need to chill. |
I`m stressed out by what my sons`father did to them. I feel no one in my family believes me or that it`s had such an impact on my sons. Even the dad has no idea of the monster he has become. I fear my sons will never understand what `calm down`means. I`ve tried finding therapy and-or groups for them to attend but it seems the damage has been done. I do see my sons`improving in their behaviour but as a mom, I worry. Luckily I found the strength to leave that SOB!!! |
Stressing out hardcore these days. Just gotta remember to breathe.

:eatinghersheybar:
:yeahthat: |
Until I can find a way to actually get blood from a turnip, I'm going to be stressed out. :blink:

At the moment I'm stressing over buying a car... I know it seems trivial but thats all I'm stressing about. I hate car sales people. I already told one place to F-Off (I didn't really say those exact words, but I sure wanted to) So now I found a new dealership, that is NOT hassling me to BUY today cause it will be gone tomorrow.
I should have a new car buy next wknd. So I just have to be patient. Oh did I use the word patient, I have NO clue what that word means... lol |
Everyone has different stressors in their life and everyone handles stress differently for sure. Me, I can't take a lot of stress anymore. I have found that the older I get, the less stress I can deal with. I try to live my life stress free, but right now, that's NOT an option that I can fullfill. Hopefully soon, I will be less stressed out over things in my life.

why do I keep doing this to myself ?
I am stressing over this trip
-is my gear right -is my conditioning good enough -is the weather going to hold out -is this insane that I keep doing this? but I stress over every trip...like I dont have enough to really worry about. |
Stressed? Who, Me? Do I look stressed?
Yeah okay I admit I'm stressed, My surgery is in two days and I admit I'm kinda freaking out here :bolt: |
The tips of my nerves are frazzled and starting to spark.
Should I be concerned? :blink: |
What stresses me out? Lately, everything! lol
I was approved for a $6000 education grant, and was approved to 3 different schools. Normally, this would be a good thing. But for me... I'm terrified! lol Firstly, I don't know which school to pick...one is a local community college, one is a really good tech school, and the other is the University of North Carolina. All three are good schools, but I'm confused. I have three different areas of instruction that I'm interested in, but I can't seem to choose. Also, the biggest fear is this: I'm almost 31. It's been ages since I've been to school. What if I can't hack it? I'm scared of failure... I have other various daily stresses, which I really need to find a good release for! lol |
Hey Dixie,
I get what your saying about not sure you can hack school again at a later age in life. Heck try being my age, which is several years older than you and having to do it. I"m in the midst of doing that now, and yeah, I have good and bad semesters, mainly due to physical problems with my back that interfere and then the drugs I had to take for my back causing problems being able to focus. I decided almost a year ago not to take those heavy drugs anymore so I could focus better, and wella, the anxiety has taken over my focusing ability along with my depression running amock, and not to mention my PTSD going haywire. It's hugely an interference for me at times. So, I get what your afraid of. Hang in there, you'll be alright. Just take it slow, get your feet wet a bit, then work yourself up to more classes. Good luck. |
Yep, had more stress added to my plate yesterday. It's just not going to end like it needs to. I am so done you can stick a fork in me.

The MOD and the FD Manager went at it yesterday at our staff meeting. Awkwaaaaard and stressful. Hopefully, they will resolved the issue when I come back from my days off.

Still stressed out, but meds are here now!! YAY !!!

I am VERY stressed out. Let's see what is on my plate...
*My sister Jo died a year and a few months ago. I had to help her die from skin cancer. *My Godfather died less than a year ago from brain cancer. *I may have cancer - I am still waiting for the report to come back in. *My bio-parents moved in with their favorite daughter, my sister. They have financially wrote out all of their other children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren from their Will. My one sister will inherit everything, and has no intention of being fair with any of her siblings. *As I am aging I am finding out who are my true friends are. *As I am aging I am finding out who my true family is. *My car is ready to die. It is 11 yo, but has 200+K miles on it, and needs all kind of work. *I have to keep my home up (staining shutters, deck, etc.). *I am constantly worried about how I am going to pay for my healthcare bills, and pharmacy bills (and even more so if I do have cancer). *Internet rumors. I am frustrated that they still come up. What is even more frustrating is that people actually believe them. Sheesh. :fastdraq: |
I'm stressed out about a talk I will be giving in front of my department on Saturday. It's kind of meant to be a hazing, I think, for first-year grad students, and the professors are known to ask lots of really tough questions. And I'm very nervous about public speaking even in the best case scenario.
That said, I have resolved to give the presentation with confidence, if I can. If it's panned, that's okay -people have far, far more important things to worry about than this, I understand- but I don't want to be shaky, uncertain, to come off like I'm terrified, even if I am. Fuck it. That's what I say, fuck it. No more being petrified of stupid things. Life really is too short. Phew, thanks for listening :) Just had to get that off my chest. |
Stressed? Who me?
:bigcry: You better believe it! :wtf: |
Its only 12 more days till the end of the school year....
... My students are freaking out ... My kids are freaking out ... I STILL dont see any sunshine ... AND... I want it to be the end of the year as much as everyone else! |
Do you ever get so stressed that you just can't even write about it?!
:seeingstars: |
