Stressing out....

[bsfins]

I want to know what do you do when you stress out?

For me,it depends on what it is...

My family
My mom has been in and out of the hospital,I'm concerned about her.

So,I'm stressed about her....

I tend to require less sleep,I go and go,I hardly eat.I'll get up at 5 am workout,do household chores,grab breakfast,go see her at the hospital by 8 - 8:30,spend all day with her,5 oclock run home let the dogs out grab a sandwhich,head back to the Hospital.Around 9 pm head home,finish chores,get to bed between 11-12.

Financial
Lately,My budget has almost doubled,yet my income has dropped.We're slow at work,I've done alot less investigating,and alot more desk jockeying.I'm looking for a different job.

This type of stress,I'm exausted,yet I can't get to sleep.I'll lay there and toss and turn thinking about what can I do.I then sleep for a few hours,feeling horrible all day,grumpy,just trying to get through the day.I eat more,I feel constantly hungry,I tend to workout alot more also.My Sex drive tends to gointo overdrive though. That Fat Ugly chick in the next office building,I start to wonder what type of underwear she wears,is she bald,or has a welcome mat.Screamer or moaner.

General loserdom

I'm 30,haven't dated in awhile,I take care of my mom,I don't own a house,I don't have a career,I have a job.Not sure where i'm going or what I want..

This stress,I don't sleep as in financial,I tend to eat normally,and Workout normally.I get creative,want to build things,I get big ideas,then sit on them.I don't tell anyone about things I've come up with,I write them down.I tend to get motivated to an extent,I tend to make big decisions on things in my life...I'm going to sell my truck.Use the money to fix this truck,and help pay for this...then realize that it's not practical.What the hell was I thinking? My sex drive falls through the floor,A hot chick can flash me,and give me her number...I look at the number and ponder...Why? I get real self concious.barely leave the house.

When I stress out, I punch, kick, and break things.
30 minutes later, I feel great.
Some say I act "like a baby", and others say I "am immature", but I get it out quick, and then it's over, no more worrying about it.  Plus, it leaves a visual reminder to anyone who dare mess me up....

I snap at the drop of a hat. If I am really stressed about anything stay out of the room and try to not even look at me if you do happen to walk in.

I'm not the stress type.  I adhere to the philosophy of stoicism.  If it's out of my control, it's not worth worrying about.  This does not always work, of course, but for the most part, stupid crap never sets me off, and I seldom need to go all "Jtex" on anyone.

That sounds like my summer of '89.  I'd sometimes go straight from work to the hospital and then back to work in the morning.  It was a long summer.

As do I!

wow B, sounds like you're dealing with a lot of crap right now.  Hang in there.

I get some coke and strippers... the rest is self explainatory.

[Sunstroke]

I really don't stress too much...I prefer the old "don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff" philosophy (or was that "don't sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff?"...I forget). I know you guys will never believe this, seeing as how I'm such a straight-laced stuffed shirt and all, but I usually use humor to deal with stress.

I posted this,because I was out walking,and I thought about fast my habits changed.I realized that,the day my mom got out of the hospital,my Stress changed,all the sudden I couldn't sleep.My Stress went from worring about my mom,to my general loserdom.

Thanks UK,My mom has had 2 stays in the Hospital in just over a month.She also
found out she's diabetic,they thought she had a heart condition,then she Jaundice.All the meds they put her on in December,(which she only needed the insulin),caused an inflamation of her Liver.(hepatitus,non contagious type)

She has to have her Gall bladder taken out as soon as her Live heals.Both My older sisters,have had thier Gall Bladders out,(both also Diabetic)both were sick for 3- 6 months after their gall bladder was removed.

I didn't mean to give her medical history....But It's like chasing our own tail...
