Stress!

[Blightedchemist]

I've been under a lot of stress lately too. Between relationship problems, taking up a second job, trying to find a place to live and maintaining school.
For stress I'll take out a reptile or sit and watch my frogs
in times of high stress I can't fall asleep at all, so I'll usually have a beer or two, or a glass of scotch.
Music is good for me too, but not as much as monica.

hmmmm stress...hello how could I live without it....lol. I am a HUGE stresser...over anything and everything. Its ridiculous and you will find if you dont figure out now how to deal with it.....it will catch up to you when you are older. I am now on an anxiety medication....and actually it works pretty well. I still stress just not to the point where it is keeping me up all night or I am freaking out. Anyways...just wanted to tell you....figure out how to chill now...before you get older...as you age you don't handle the stress as well as you did when you were young.

I tried the whole meditate thing...nope. Read the books...nope.

I find if I clean like crazy, play with the animals, surf the internet at times or chill and watch movies....it helps. Of course a glass of wine doesnt hurt!

Working in the oil field offshore can realy take a toll on a person. Buy the time I get home im so behind on everything so getting caught up gets rough and knowing you only have a couple of days with the family makes you want to do nothing except hold them. So we fish every chance we get because its slow and boring just the way I like it. Sorry just saw a chance to vent. lol

im putting stress and worry in the same category- when im worrying about something it stresses me out... being a pre vet student atm is really stressing me out... along with trying to find a job and thinking of what i actually wanna do with my life etc....

whats been helping me is cleaning/organizing (something i used to HATE doing as a kid), watching movies.... i can also watch tv shows for hours on end (esp CSI, Law and Order SVU, House etc... i just cant watch an episode that i've seen with in the last month... .idk im weird like that i guess) and finally playing with the kittehs. I love watching the cats get into mischef and just being goofy....i think i was a cat in a past life...

of course an alcoholic drink helps de stress too... every now and then tho...

I had a friend that did that. He was always under stress from being out in the gulf all the time and barely seeing friends and family. Great job but very lonely from what I understand. I hope you have lots of music, movies, an Ipod, and a great internet/text plan on your phone to keep your sanity
