Today I am so stressed not only can I not talk about it, but I can barely write a word down about it. |
I'm stressed but I'm sick too, which gives me a 'who cares' feel, so I'm basically conflicted.
|
Stressed, frustrated, depressed...take your pick.
My son is home sick with a fever over 102...I'm STILL trying to sell or find a tenant for the house I own....STILL trying to find someone who will rent to us with pets in Florida.... feel like I'm trying to force a miracle and am frustrated as heck and feel like just having a really good cry. I'll be lucky if I manage a shower with the way the day is going....and it's almost 2:30 in the afternoon......ugh (w) |
Yep,stressed hear too.Today I have had to call a plumber for a stoped up drain in the kitchen.I should have been a plumber cause he shure made a bundle outta me today.For the record I did try to fix it myself but as much as I did it just didnt work.
|
The best thing ever when I am stressed is to flatten carboard and put it in the recycle. Gets all that negative energy out and helps the earth lol. Well ok I mainly just like the stomping and crushing, its fun :D
|
*comes into the room and passes around the sweet baby kitten on my lap* She took away all my stress today. Shes so cute and adorable...
|
Yeah I'm a tad bit stressed, but it'll pass (I hope) :blink:

Helping Mom. Her brother's lung cancer was staged at 4. Yesterday, sat down with her and helped her get paperwork together. She and another of their siblings are his medical power of attorney. Working on getting hospice in now, in spite of his insistence it isn't needed. Would you believe, sick as he is, he is still out scratching around in his garden? Can't say as I blame him. I would be too. Holding on to every inch of life I had left.
On top of that Mom was recently diagnosed with Graves' disease. She's been having some issues with her vision. The medications make her a bit edgy. The other night she fussed at me on the phone for things that made no sense. It's been rather tough lately. Add in my own personal life crap - makes for a high strung week. |
STRESSED OUT!!!!
YES I'm stressed out I have so much to do outside today before the thunderstorms start up again. OK gotta run, will return for my hourly breaks. LOL yeah I work way harder at home than I do at my job so I take more breaks. |
Moi Stressed out? HELL YEAH. Thanks to my new doc, I now am able to manage dealing with the stressors that stress me out so bad. I can just take my anxiety meds twice a day and it relieves some of it. YAY!!!
|
Im stressed to the MAX
|
Yesterday, I was pretty sure I had an elephant sitting on my chest. I went ahead and named him Fred. Figured he needed a name if he was hanging around.
|
I don't know if mine is an elephant or not and I ain't naming no names dammit, that way it won't think it's home. KNow what I mean vern?
LOL I am going to be stressed for a lot longer until things work out the way they should, or the way I think they should anyway. Nothing much I can do about it but try to take it one day at a time until it's all over with.:seeingstars: |
May be of some help for those with stress-related anxiety :)
6 Holistic Strategies to Reduce Anxiety: Food and Supplements
This Week's Client: Alicia, 23, a university student with a part-time job and a busy social life. The Problem: She feels anxious nearly every day and suffered from panic attacks as a teenager. It's normal to experience moments of anxiety, particularly when they stem from stressful situations such as writing an exam or attending a job interview. But Alicia doesn't need a reason to feel anxious, it's her state of mind most of the time. Anxiety can be characterized by numerous symptoms, but the most common are chills or hot flashes, sudden overwhelming fear, heart palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness, numbness. Alicia described it as feeling like she'd had too much coffee resulting in a nervous energy she couldn't alleviate. Her doctor recommended antidepressants to tame her anxiety, but she was determined to solve the problem by natural means, which is why she ended up in my office. Six diet and supplement suggestions to reduce anxiety, after the jump.. After reviewing her food journal and doing an in-depth wellness evaluation I recommended the following to Alicia. 1. Eat blood sugar balancing snacks. The consumption of sugar and simple carbohydrates, negatively impact blood sugar levels and may promote anxiety. A healthy, blood sugar balancing snack could be a few almonds, a piece of fruit or a protein smoothie. 2. Perform a deep breathing exercise for a minimum of five minutes twice a day: Close your eyes and breathe in and out through your nose, feel your belly expand and contract as you breathe for five minutes. As mentioned in this post: Six Ways To Relax, focusing on deep breaths activates the vagus nerve which controls the relaxation response and is the antidote to the stress response. 3. Add the following foods to your diet as they supply valuable minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium, all of which are depleted by stress and anxiety: apricots, asparagus, bananas, broccoli, blackstrap molasses, brewer's yeast, avocados, garlic, green leafy vegetables, raw nuts, organic yogurt, figs, fish (especially salmon) and legumes. 4. A body under stress due to anxiety is more susceptible to free radical damage, according to Phyllis A Balch, author of Prescription for Nutritional Healing, and could benefit from these herbs: billberry, ginkgo biloba and milk thistle are all rich in flavanoids that neutralize free radicals. 5. Avoid stimulants of any kind: chocolate, coffee, black tea, cola or anything else that contains caffeine as these substances will promote anxiety. Instead drink peppermint or rooibos teas, both are energizing without caffeine. 6. Take a good quality vitamin B complex formulated for stress and anxiety as that will help maintain normal nervous system function. Women are often deficient in B vitamins due to taking the birth control pill, lack of proper absorption in the gut and inadequate B vitamins in the diet. NOTE: It is not safe to go off an anti-depressants without doctor supervision.

|
Yeppers, I am. Personal stuff. For once, it's not about my work. I got a HUGE pat on the back from a national inspector today, so I'm still feeling like I'm all that and a bag of Sun chips in that area.

Started counseling last month at the suggestion of the MD who is guiding my weight loss.
Beginning to see how much stress/pressure I have been under for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time and dealing with it. Turning off the radio and listening to some awesome music: classical, opera, meditation, etc. on my daily commute (1 hour each way) has really helped. My counselor mentioned an exercise of 3 times a day stopping, asking self "How/what am I feeling?", and writing it down. I am too busy for that so I started doing something similar when I feel stressed or overwhelmed by something - I record the date, time, what I am feeling and anything I have to say about it. This has helped me get beyond what's going on and see the situation as it really is rather than from the skewed perspective of my stressed out self. I've also got some crystals, incense and sage, etc. to help with the negative energies that love to hang onto me. |

Stressed out? Who Me? Uhm, well, Uh, Yeah, as usual. :blink:
|
My stress is only getting worse. I got a bad news phone call yesterday, and it just seems nothing is working my way, no matter how innocent I am in all this mess.
|
I have been terribly stressed lately, so much so that I cant seem to think clearly enough to even post. However, I have decided I have to do something about it. SO... I have a plan.
1. Get up at a set time each day. Set an alarm and stick to it. 2. Be more active. Exercise Daily. 3. Spend time with my children playing games, even if I feel like I am overwhelmed or stressed. They will be happier and so will I. 4. Remember that everyone else can just... GO SHOVE IT!!! |
For me, stress is a 4 letter word. You pick one. :blink:
|
Indeed. I think I'm handling it well, overall, though. Although I am very grateful for the opportunity to do so, and will appreciate the OT, working every single day over and over and over wears on a soul. Throw the training of someone I'm beginning to think won't work out on top of it as well as trying to pick up the pieces of someone who was notorious for hiding (aka losing) important information and documents and you have an accident-bound train, I'm afraid.
Just another few days and I'll get a day off.... *wistful sigh* |
Stress Smiley of the Day !!!

I just found this thread so I will vent. I am stressed out because my Dr is an incompetent ELF! And really, that's putting it nicely! Went in Tuesday to see him and get more tests results from my hosptial stay. He said i am not sure you have Lupus but it does look like u have Nephritis. I asked him what that was....he NEVER could tell me. I come home and look it up...Lupus Nephritis??????? WTF??? I SWEAR he acts like if he causes me to die an early death, he gets some kind of an award!!!

I was a little stressed earlier today. I had my first day off in almost two weeks and came in to one problem after another and I never seemed to get situated before another cropped up. I'm used to putting out fires, but c'mon! Let a girl eat! Two bites of oatmeal and a small yogurt do not consitute a well balanced meal no matter how you look at it, much less two. :blink:
