Stressed OUT!?!

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.

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.

Big ball of stress here.
So much to do, so little time to do it all in.
Grieving, cleaning, moving...trying to hold everyone together.
Now our cat is sick.
Whaa whaa whaa........
