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. :balloon:

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.

:papac:

Echoing Pearls, Melatonin has worked very well to help ease me into sleep and maintain a deeper one.

Some people do thrive on stress and strife in their lives. I've got one coworker, bless her, if she didn't have bad or horrible luck, she'd have none at all. That's the way her entire life has been so when things smooth out a little, she freaks out because nothing's going horribly wrong. Good doesn't feel right.

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. :blink:

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*

If I take melatonin, it gives me night terrors. Go figure.

Yep, way over stressed and anxious here, having to wait to get in to see the doc for anxiety meds....4 to 6 weeks. UGH. Gotta love the red tape.

:blink::freak::wtf::threadjack:

What stresses me out?

Oh dear.

1. Idiotic nurses. Not saying ALL nurses are idiotic. Just wondering how I manage to get the job that is supervised by the idiotic nurses. The one GOOD nurse I have is quitting. This will be my last weekend with her. Which leads me to...

2. Weekends I work. Those usually end up ending very very badly. The ADONs don't have good "staff shortage" plans in place usually. And my unit is already short 1. I usually end up getting the hardest hall because I'm the only one that knows how to do it on those weekends.

3. Hours being cut. I'm curious to see the new schedule. It was bad enough they screwed up my position when I was hired, making it part-time rather than full-time. Then they somehow thought cutting my hours by one day a pay period would go over well with me. So, if they cut my hours, and we're normally short, I don't get how that adds up. Must be some math I don't know.

Apparently, my bosses and Damon's bosses share some connection, be it DNA or telepathy or something. :blink:

They are also beginning to micromanage the Hell out of me, which gets under my skin, since I know how to run this place and they can't even work the program at the Front Desk.

I am just so stressed out over waiting for test results to come back in. :freak:

I'm the money maker in my family,plus the caretaker.When i'm stressed out I pray to my lord.He reminds me just how lucky I am..and I am.When I actually think about just how lucky I am..my stress fades away.

I have nothing to fear,bring it on.

:baseball:

We camped out in the back yard. Ate hotdogs, for the same cost of staying indoors for the weekend.

We spent the weekend predominantly media free.

My pulse is almost back to my normal 58, and not bounding. First time in weeks. Im back to being vampiric cold. This is my baseline.

I think this is a stress reducing activity we will repeat very soon.

I've forgotten what it's like to be left alone to work. To not hear "do this" while one of my bosses stands there laughing with another boss about...hell I dunno.

*wanders off muttering obscenities about work*

I am learning to take stress in stride.. I have stressed for the last several years over finances left from a past relationship, a house we bought and then found out she was cheating on me.. I kept the house and the mortgage. I would say I wouldnt have it any other way but the house is the one thing that is keeping us from seriously considering moving to a state we would like better... I love our house... We have so many plans for it..I just wish it wasn't in the bible belt... Hmmm... maybe we could move our house?? LOL..

Damon has helped me become the strong independent confident woman I am today... we manage things together and when I get stressed out :overreaction:he is my rock and makes me sane again... even when I am crying so much he cant understand what I am saying... lol... as he says "girls"... he doesnt always understand me but he is always there anyway! Thank you baby I love you!

Sometimes I have to remember that life sometimes hands you lemons and you just have to learn to make lemonade..

:insane:.or atleast some days it sure feels that way when the stress gets to me it's overwhelming.

I am a stressed out wreck since the flood.

Finally I do tink we have everyone I know with a place to live, so now, I need to chill.

I`m stressed out by what my sons`father did to them. I feel no one in my family believes me or that it`s had such an impact on my sons. Even the dad has no idea of the monster he has become. I fear my sons will never understand what `calm down`means. I`ve tried finding therapy and-or groups for them to attend but it seems the damage has been done. I do see my sons`improving in their behaviour but as a mom, I worry. Luckily I found the strength to leave that SOB!!!

Stressing out hardcore these days. Just gotta remember to breathe.

:eatinghersheybar:

:yeahthat:

Until I can find a way to actually get blood from a turnip, I'm going to be stressed out. :blink:

At the moment I'm stressing over buying a car... I know it seems trivial but thats all I'm stressing about. I hate car sales people. I already told one place to F-Off (I didn't really say those exact words, but I sure wanted to) So now I found a new dealership, that is NOT hassling me to BUY today cause it will be gone tomorrow.

I should have a new car buy next wknd. So I just have to be patient. Oh did I use the word patient, I have NO clue what that word means... lol

Everyone has different stressors in their life and everyone handles stress differently for sure. Me, I can't take a lot of stress anymore. I have found that the older I get, the less stress I can deal with. I try to live my life stress free, but right now, that's NOT an option that I can fullfill. Hopefully soon, I will be less stressed out over things in my life.
