be less stressed

I can’t… I’m done

but I decided to go on anti depressants again to get me over a hurdle in my life. Chronic continuous pain and the stress of losing my job along with the regular run of bad luck I get, has made me realise I need to go back on them. I’m just not coping with ‘life’. I’m trying cipramil and so far so good. It’s only been a week but I can already feel my stress levels diminishing. It’s just difficult to accept that it takes a pill for them to go though. :-(

with a lot of stress this week. Just going with the flow as much as I can during the midst of a bad situation. We’ve had some dramas with someone using my husband’s credit/debit card attached to our living account, someone crashing into me whilst on my girls weekend jaunt, some work worries about the project and my family just ignoring my pleas for help with the housework to name a few. But I’ve managed to think of myself through all of this and realise that the stress I have allowed myself to feel hurts only me in the end. So no more!!!

i just have been feeling way too stressed lately, i want to find a easy effective way to cope with all my stress.

I always stress. It’s not fun… I cope with the stress pretty well, but it really takes all of my energy.

Now..where is that stress ball? ;)

this goal seems to be the place for me to offload my stress rather than say how wonderful I’m doing at being less stressed!!!

This morning I woke to quite a number of new friend requests on Facebook. People I’ve never heard of, but do to my brain being mush and people changing their names I checked them out. Now three of them have come from an online friend I have had for quite some time..the jury is still out on whether I will add them or not, but suffice to say I think they’re totally ok and if I do add them I will feel comfortable with my decision.

The next one was this ummm..rather scary looking person who was absolutely covered (and I mean total body coverage) in tattoos. I think he must be a tattoist here in Launceston. I hate to be judgemental and it’s not the fact that he is into body art (I appreciate it totally for what it is but I don’t like the total body covered look and that is just my personal taste)...so he and two of his friends have added me (all from the town where I live). I ignored the request and then this afternoon, another three adds…all friends of this guy but this time scattered around Australia. Ignore them. Now another two..again, the common link is this man. I’m a bit freaked out now. My name is my name in real life and my phone is public listed. So I’m a bit scared and panicky. I know I could very well be over reacting to it all..but if you knew some of my past you would understand why I am so scared.

Thank god I’m moving next week is all I can say. In the meantime…this house is going to be locked tight!

I just don’t get why they are doing this??? I feel quite vulnerable and I definitely don’t know any of them. Gosh I have all of one friend in this town in real life.

not to be stressed lately. We are moving in two weeks and being the woman of the house means I need to make sure everything is organised and nothing is overlooked. Being unwell hasn’t helped with things either but I am trying really hard just to stay focussed and deal with issues as they arise. My sleep has been shocking so I’ve been taking restavit which doesn’t agree with me too well the next day. I just wish my brain could switch off at night time and allow me to have the sleep my body desperately craves. I have bought some rescue remedy and I mainly use it for car trips but I’m noticing it doesn’t have a huge effect…it does sometimes but not every time I have it (I wonder if that is normal though?).

that life has been a lot less stressful with my daughter Molly being away :-( She has been away on two camps back to back and life here at home is quiet and without angst. None of us feel we are walking on egg shells and I feel re energised to be able to deal with her more effectively. Fingers crossed I can put into place some of the strategies I have decided on for her in terms of the way she treats me (and gets away with it – until now!)

Highly recommend it.

I’m immensely stressed. I shouldn’t be. Well I have reasons but really it’s no different from any other day. I’m just not coping very well. I’m absolutely freaking out in the car and stressing at dinner time. Really really don’t want to go on medication :-(
