Title: Stress Overload
Post by: debidoo on April 11, 2017, 03:38:50 pm
I am so stressed it isn't funny.  I just finished spending all my savings fixing my car and now the check engine light is back on, my two grown sons are living with me now that their dad died & they are making my life miserable, My house is in disrepair and I don't have the money to fix it.  I have several significant health issues and can barely walk due to childhood scoliosis, and I am lonely.  Now that I have whined I know even with all this I have a lot to be thankful for but I sure wish things would change for the better.

I'm sorry to hear this as well. I know things can get so difficult at times, right now I'm struggling with some personal issues of my own. I have to say your dog is beautiful, my girlfriend had a shih tzu that looked just like that, unfortunately her dog just died a couple months ago  :(

Whenever I feel stressed I try to remember to take extra vitamin B complex.  Vitamin B is great for both; mental and physical health.  You can get vitamin B from meat and dairy but sometimes it's a good idea to take supplements; especially, when you're dealing with a rough phase of your life.

Take good care of yourself.   :heart:

I am sorry to hear how you are feeling but try to do something to help relieve some of that stress because it is not good for you.

I think you need to get your two grown sons to help out. They should not be given a free ride, that should help your stress in several ways. I will keep you and your family in our prayers. Good Luck!!

I'll never understand how grown adults can come back home and just mooch, laze and take for granted.  I mean I understand we all got through hard times.  My own mother has backed me several times.  I never intended on mooching though.  I'd do dishes, prepare meals, clean areas she shouldn't be climbing ladders to get to anymore.  There are hundereds of things one can do to help... even if it's not financial.  Sounds like some big boys need a big kick in the rump.

I'm so sorry for everything you are going through. Have you thought about creating a gofund me page to help with auto repairs? You might be able to earn a little to at least get your car repaired.

I know so many people can identify with you.  Stress is rampant in this world, but there are tools you can use to help.  I've found energy medicine exercises to be wonderful.  They may not get rid of your problems, but they will help you deal with the stress, and that can be major.  Look up Donna Eden on the Internet if you are interested in learning how this can help.  Her 5 minute daily energy medicine routine is amazing.

 Stress is a killer, don't let things like your kids not helping you out around the house or getting your car fixed, they need to get out and let you destress. It only makes it worst when they don't try and help with household things, don't cook for them or clean for them, they grown, let them do grown up things, they not babies anymore.

Prayer, excercise (even if it's just a walk around the block with the dog), spending time with a pet, listening to favorite music & finding ways to change up the "daily routine" are just a few things that help me with stress.

I saw an idea on Pinterest the other day that I thought was helpful.  Take a little box & decorate it and on the top write "Worry Box".  Write on slips of paper all your "worries", pray & give those worries to God & drop the paper in the box.  Then go on with your day.

Stress isn't healthy, it needs to go.  Do whatever you need to do to be happy.  If you are on Facebook, ask on there if anyone knows anyone that could help you fix your house.  I've seen people do that & you never know who knows someone that might be able to help (there's alot of people looking for side jobs to make a little cash and might be able to fix something alot cheaper than a professional & still do a good job.)  Same for future car repairs...there are guys that love to tinker with cars & will do brakes, oil changes, etc for cost of parts and a little side money.  You just have to find someone that knows someone.....& Facebook is really good for that.

Things will change for the better...they always seem to reverse direction at some point or another. I had a tough month, worked twice as hard to learn a new process and misinterpreted one guideline for which I was severely castigated. No recognition for the effort, hours or dedication. I am still cleaning up the mess. But this is a different week and I gained a valuable lesson from my mistake. I have the opposite problem with my children: I can not see  enough of them. I have a daughter in Singapore (studying abroad) that comes back for a few days in April and then heads out to Illinois for an internship till mid-August when she comes back to school and I might see her every six weeks. My son graduates from High school in three weeks and has his summer planned out until he takes off for college.
