ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
 somedays I feel like pigpen with a rain cloud hanging over my head  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. Last edited by AtLast; 04-23-2010 at 01:05 PM. |

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.  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. |

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.  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.

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.  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* |

OMG!!!!!
My daughter has only been driving for about 3 months now ...  ... Yes, stressful ... Ugh I'm always so scared every single time she leaves the house ... Not because of her ... She's actually very careful ... Because of the others out there ... Everyone has gotten so aggressive AND distracted ... She just got hit from behind ... Waiting to for her turn to merge into traffic ... She says she's okay, but of course, now I'm a little freaked out ... The girl was riding her butt and talking on her phone and I guess just didn't see that Miranda was still in front of her. I'm so glad she has grown into a beautiful young woman, has over come so very much, is an amazing mother ... But I'm still so very scared for her. I wish I could just wrap her in a bubble and never again have to worry about her ... Too many years of complete concern and fear. *deep breath* Okay ... Just needed to get that out before she gets home. Thanks for listening!

Stressed? Just a little bit. I have spent nearly all of July working every day, seven days a week and August is shaping up to be the same. The exception, thankfully, is that I'm getting almost one day off a week now.
While I appreciate the job security, I miss my family. I miss free time. I miss sleep. I miss not being so tired and cranky all the time. Hopefully, things will get better soon. |

It's not really a big deal thing but I'm stressing about getting my cards for the holiday exchange in the mail. I'm at a standstill, and am never one to be good about "anxiously we sit and wait, sit and wait...".
