Stressed OUT!?!
A place to let it all out!
What's STRESSING YOU OUT? Family? Friends? Partners? Work? NO judging...we all get stressed! Some things that stress me out: I need to get more stuff done always neverending ...and I should take better care of myself, but all I want to do is chill! (as opposed to working out!) :shark: You can let it all out, or advise those of us who feel overwhelmed with stress and how you cope? (i.e. does yoga REALLY work? ;) ) |
Moving....
I'm overwhelmed... and there for I'm procrastinating. grrrrrrr I move May 1st and seems like I have soooo much to pack. CALGON ..... Take me away.. or perhaps a single hot femme? *smirk* |
Ohhh and one more thing.....
My car is dying a quick death.... Waiting for my tax return to use for the down payment... OMG It just needs to hold out another 2 weeks or so. Then she is off to be donated. |
Well, for me, I am rarely stressed. I live a very easygoing, comfortable, stress free life, for the most part.
This was not always the case, and at times even today I get a little stressed over some things. I believe that we each have to find out what works for us. For me, swimming, reading, or talking and letting it out with a good friend does the trick. Oh and sex, that is the best method for curing stress, for me! : ) |
I am very stressed out. I am not going to post why because they are personal reasons. I just ask for people to say prayers for me. Thanks. Andrew |
I'm stressed personified. I deal.
|
I just scheduled an hour massage (my health plan covers them, and I need to take advantage!).
The place where I get them is at my gym, so maybe I'll bring some workout clothes...or at least my bathing suit and go for a swim...that used to help! This time of year is the craziest for me at work...I have to start taking better care of myself. :) |

Thankfully, I took care of a fair amount of stress by paying down nearly 70% of all my debt. I now have to take care to not let it increase again (I'm seriously contemplating canceling one or both of my remaining cards that I still owe on). Right now, my main way of dealing with stress is to find quietness. I've found that living in NY my stress has increased, a lot (IMO) due to noise pollution. |
I work full time
My daughter tried to kill herself I take care of my Mother My health is sucking I can't find time to go to the gym Nope, nobody stressed out here!:hiding: |
Im stressed out over my contenuing back and neck injury,as much as I have done to molly coddle the thing it spazed out on me and I finaly ended up in the ER at LSU hospital last night.ITs a good thing I finaly went cause now I have a fast track to the orthopedic docs to get it fixed or atleast something done with it so I can get as much of my life back as I can.I have been haveing probs with the medicaid doc I have not geting me into the system there cause he just cant seem to fax the request with the med reports to them...for seven months he has screwd around with this,even after LSU has requested this info from him many times.Now I have hope of a get back on track with thigs in general.

Jet, I don't understand your post at all. Are you being snarky or are you upset or what? I am just not getting it. |
:freak: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! yep, stressed out here to say the least. Personal stuff ya know, and it sucks big ones!! I can't wait for some of it to freaking END ALREADY :worried: :vigil::praying:!!
|
Remember...
It's HUMP DAY! :ymca: |
Surgery right shoulder.
Surgery left shoulder. Then shortly afterwards, pelvic/abdominal surgery. In the meantime... Constant pain (and not of the 'good' kind). Insomnia. And - just in case I had any notion of actually taking it easy - an imminent house move. Oh, and W/we B/both gave up smoking a few weeks back. Nope, no stress here. :woodchop:. *Sigh* |
Im wishing all the stressed out ppl to have a peaceful visit from the goddess of unstress,so that even for a little while we can feel better and rest without pain and worry.Brothers and sisters stay strong.
|
All in all, I have it better than a LOT of folks, but the things that have gotten to me lately are:
~learning my hours will be cut very soon aka having the hope of job security shaken in this suck ass economy ~I'm trying to save up money to get some repairs done to my car and having my pay cut won't help. I also found out that one of the things I need to get done may actually make my car run worse. WTF? Oh, and it's going to cost twice what I was told before (by different people). ~I'm preparing to move more than 1800 miles away soon and basically start off from square one, again ~my housemates have been having serious relationship issues and the trickle down effect has been horrible for all of us in the house ~I haven't been the gym in a couple of weeks and I've felt my neck and shoulders tightening up really bad (I was in a car accident some years back and have residual issues) and I've gained weight (lack of working out and abundance of cramming comfort food down my throat) and have been hormonal and I couldn't figure out how to take off my cranky pants |
Here I go, the big and small of it. Venting is fun! Once I got going I couldn't stop.

*Bills *Gossip that is beyond hurtful *My declining health *My car is falling apart - the transmission is slipping |
ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
:freak: somedays I feel like pigpen with a rain cloud hanging over my head :badmood: and I wonder if that damn cloud will ever lift. Today is a hard day for me, It's personal so I won't detail it here, but it's extremely stressful as I need this certain something to be over and done with permanently so I can move the hell on with my life. ARRRRGGGHHHH

Some of my coping strategies this week
The other night I floated in the thermal pool at the gym and read trashy celebrity magazines...
Today, I took the day off and slept until 11 AM! Totally needed to do that! I have *some* work for the weekend but nothing like previous ones this month. Right now, I`m enjoying a cappuccino and trying not to think of work or anything stress-related! Thanks to all for sharing experiences and strategies. :) |
Meditation and self-hypnosis have been key to my combating stress effects on my body & mind (especially chronic physical pain). Sometimes its simply a matter of complete quiet for just 15 minutes.
The increases in pain (frequency & level) I have experienced this past couple of years seem to correlate with financial concerns that I know so many of us have had. Just plain stressful! I have felt the effects personally, but also with friends and relatives that I care deeply about. So, it has felt kind of like a balloon payment without the means to make it! Yes, I see things getting better for some folks (and myself) and that feels good but do know people that have been hit do deeply, they will never recover financially. There is a big difference when one has to deal with this past the ages in which we actually can recoup losses. |
YYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
OMG my stress level is so high today. I feel like my chest is going to kick the breath out of my lungs. I feel so overwhelmed with what's happening in my circumstance that I am just going to lose my fucking mind over it. It needs to end and be over with already. Jesus H. Fing Christ how much more can one tolerate? My hair isn't totally grey yet, but I am sure it's turned more grey over the past couple of months than it has in two years. I feel like pulling it all out cause I am so stressed out. Damn, I haven't taken ativan in a year and I think I need to again. Yep, time to find a doc that will prescribe it to me....that's the hard part.

To relieve stress, I go outside. I take hikes with Dino. I also am known to picnic with Dino. Just the 2 of us. Nothing beats it. :paw: I also pray & meditate. This includes lighting candles and burning incense. It is just how I do it. It is my ritual. This brings me comfort and peace. |
Yes, I am stressed over aging. Rediculous, but true.
:titantic: - I have a climb in June. I always worry that I'm not in shape- I look old. Really old. What the hell happened ? - My foot, my knees, my back, my shoulder have declared war, we are currently engaged in mortal combat, I'm losing... - How come I cant read shit without my glasses ? My eyeballs must be waging the same war as my knees... Yes...Vanity, thy name is Boots. I hate this getting old shit. I want my pain free body back. |
:putting:
tendonitis in my elbow making even the simplest tasks impossibly painful lawn mower-frigging start already! hoping to relieve some stress this weekend...:whip: |
Tomorrow morning is D-DAy for my project. I have the presentation on a thumb drive. I have copies printed out. As i rehearse tonight, if i see anything wrong, oh well . . . .
I have "only" about five hours work tonight and then a FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP if i am not too nervous. i am setting two alarms. i can't wear the heels i want with my outfit (which pretty much sucks anyway) because of the injured knee. But again, oh well . . . . i can report that the knee feels better today. Have a good Friday night all. i am still neck deep in paper. |
stress stuff
If I don't work to turn my stress outward, by working out or sparring with someone or writing or having myself a good old-fashioned crying jag, I tend to turn it inward.
I have always clenched my teeth and jaw and it hasn't caused me issues yet (other than my teeth being ground down and growing in an obvious pattern due to it) but TMJ is probably not far down the road. My neck and shoulders also bear the burden of my stress. They get so darn tight and it's quite painful sometimes as I had a car accident years ago that reversed the curvature of my neck with the impact. My need to stay out of the chiropractor's office is very strong. If I let myself sit with something too long, I tend to turn a molehill into a mountain and then figure out the most difficult way around the mountain and proceed to work my way through things that way. It's not healthy, positive or productive. Meditating and yoga do absolutely nothing for me. I get bored and then I start thinking and that's not good. I need something physical but adaptable to my needs. For me, those don't fit. |
To those who sent me kind wishes and were pulling for me, my presentation went very well. Only a few more weeks of classes, and I will have my clear credential. Thanks so much!

I wake up in the middle of the night, my heart is so fast I cant count the drumming against my temple. My body, wich is usually near vampiricly cold, is flush with heat and I fight the covers. Anything, nothing, races across my mind.
I wrestle control over my breathing. Will my heart to slow. I demand my brain to focus on peaceful images, and drift to a hard one sleep. 30 minutes? Sometimes 2 hours? repeat the process. Camping this weekend helped. Celebrating a triumphant success with friends was a victory dance against the odds, surrounded by trees and friends. Sunday night I slept like a rock. The restless night returned last night like a clueless, unexpected house guest returning with even more unwanted gifts. I know that money is bothering me. There are very basic bills that simply never seem to get caught up. I breath uneasy as I write this. I know, that soon, its going to get easier. That day is not today. But there is food. I am loved. I think I may be able to pay my portion of the rent, with fingers crossed. The work is hard, and I need the rest, but I need the money so the rest can come. I know that the dissaray of my house, compounded by fatigue and illness, grates at my peace and serenity. The rain is dripping comfort on my garden of flowers and weeds. I will breath in the clean night air and pray. I will seek the comfort and solace of my beloved, and I will try to let the pressures I feel dissapate. |
My health is stressing me. Big time. Anxiety is kicking in full force.:darthluke: |
On friday I have a job fair to go to and my back is still spazzing some, so I hope the chiro can give me some releaf.With two pain patches and a dose of tylenol I can get thrue the day relativly pain free.Corse if I would get off my lazy butt and go to the chiro in the first place it would prolly already be better,just trying to watch my pennys.If I land a job most of the stress im haveing from trying to make it on disablity will end..im glad they( disablity has me on a work ticket so I can do this).Yes,I know they will take a portion of my disablity ceck from my wages...like .50 cents for every dollar made.THey coulsdgive a guy a bereak.
