I've been so stressed lately...

[Ritz459]

I though last night I was going to explode...so here is my little rant so I will feel better. lol

Jeez. I've just had way to much homework, to little sleep, a whacked out schedual at school. Tonight is the one night that I'm actually at home (and I only have Geometry to do! Yey!). I haven't been able to spend any time with my critters which has also been stressing me out because I know I should be spending time with them.
And then...I don't know...I'm just stressed. I mean, even right now I feel like I could explode at somebody if the so much as annoy me a little bit.
I think part of this fact is the homework+lack of sleep+never being at home because of basketball, but then I'm also getting stressed/mad/whatever because I'm still worried about that Mastiff that lives kinda close to us, and I'm worried about the neighbors pup who is kept in a kennel without "proper" (it is proper..but that is the problem...proper isn't good enough in an outside dog's life) care, and then I'm also worried about my friend.
She used to have depression issues, but she has gotten better. Anyways, she has recentally started going you with this nice guy (His name's Danny) but I'm afraid that they really don't have enough in common to make their relastionship last, and I'm afraid that when/if they do break up, she'll get depressed again. And her parents won't help because they are "Holier than thou" type people and they don't aprove of Danny anyway (which I don't know why aside from the fact that he looks like a Goth...he isn't though). So ya, that's bugging me a bit.
And then there is the fact that I might be interested in a guy, but I'm not totally sure (like, I'm 99.8% sure...lol), but I don't know, it's just so confusing. (He's actually Danny's older brother...lol)
And then there is the whole thing with some of my "friends" (not friends friends, but I know them) and their issues with the guys that they like (it is running along the lines right now of everybody's best friend is going for the guy that they like so basically betraying their best friend) and that is about ready to drive me crazy because everybody is mad at each other, but they won't say so.

So all in all, I'm almost about ready to go crazy. I just love my life! lol Hey, but at least I have my parents on my side, unlike a lot of people who hate their parents...I have that going for me.
But I feel better now! Thanks for letting me get all of that out!


I'm so looking forward to just sitting back and watching Lost tonight...I can't wait to see what happens!

School- what a headache. I know what you mean about issues like that, I've had friends that would come to me and try to get me to turn on their friends(which were also my friends) so that really got to me. I know what you mean- I have two wonderful parents that do listen and are always on my side and I also have 3 sibs. My friend fights with hers even when I slept over, I mean like yelling and screaming(quite anoying and very rude, IMO, to do that in front of a guest). I mean sure me and my folks have little spats but I never use foul langaug or do I ever say "I hate you", "I dont care", or call then any names. I'm out of school now(thank the heavens) but I'm sure collage will be even worse when I get to that point. But I have some wonderful people(I'm sure you do too) that'll help with the stress(including furry members too). Just hange in there, it'll pass just like Tribalrats said.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm stressed to the point of exploding right now, too. But, I know it will get better. Like Tribal (and some other wise soul) said, this too shall pass. Try to remember to take the time to breathe deeply! Ahhhhhh.

I too have been stressed. Cant pay bills or rent til mid Feb when student loans come in. I feel like everyone is against me. I try to be the best person I can but geez it gets rough tring to please everyone. I just wanna give up and be mean but yet I know that there is a brighter side to things and I faith that my life will work it's self out. School just started for me today so here comes the work load. Im a sr. in college so I have hard classes these next two semesters, but then I graduate Yeah! I guess I need a place to rant too. I just want to be sedated and have some good rest so today I came home from class and slept alllllll day long. UGH! I am lucky though cause my mom is always suportive of me and my friends have been feeding me latly cause I spent my food money on the animals (they always come first in my budget). My heater in my house started leaking gas and made me sick. I shut it off so it's a bit cold in the house, but my friend bought me a heater to tide me over til I can pay rent and bug the landlord. Wow Im sorry I know you all dont really care to hear all my bs but heck I dont know where else to go with it. Thanks for putting up with me GP buddies.

Group Hug!

[tessa_s212]

Man, have I had my share of those days! My freshman year of highschool I had three breakdowns in the middle of classes where I just started bawling for the smallest things because I was so stressed. Surprisingly, I haven't done that so far this year.

I swear I'm not a crybaby.. just with my mother(has a mental illness and refuses to take meds), classes, teachers, dog training instructors(not easy people to get along with), my siblings, and my own self... it all gets so stressful sometimes!

Hang in! It shall get better!

[Jamila]

Im all about the GP Group Hug Hug a Pup it helps...

I can relate!!! I had that day yesterday when I was at achool from 7:45am until 8:15pm!!!! Except for a very short 1/2hr when I got a buddy of mine to drive me home so I could let the dogs out, feed them, put them back in the kennel and get driven back to the school in time for rehersal. Oh ya and then my director made us work through the entire rehersal without even a 5mins break!!!

[Tiffany0204]

Yep, stressed here too... money issues from all the short term layoffs that don't appear to be stopping anytime soon... sucks!

I also like to think of top of "this too shall pass" is "that which does not kills us can only make us stronger". Although I'm liking the first one better!

[Ritz459]

Ya, I know I'll feel better soon. But man, I hate being stressed out. One of the worst feelings in the world. But praise the Lord it is Friday. YES! I get a break from school, homework, basketball, everything. And I get to sleep in!!!! SCORE!
When I get stressed out, I'm not the type to breakdown crying, but I'll blow my head off at anybody who ticks me off even the slightest.
Last night wasn't to bad though. After basketball I just hung out with some friends + my older bro at the school and that was a nice change. That, and half of practice we scrimmaged(sp...) with Jake (my bro), Clint, and Seth (my friends) which was very...um...interesting. lol There was a lot of tempers flaring, but it was a nice change of pace.
And even though I think I just blew my health quiz that we had today, I think I aced all of my other ones! (I had like...five quizes today...and not being able to study doesn't help much. I'm so glad I have a compasionate teacher who lets us use our notes. And I got a 120/120 on my Bible quiz. Yey!)

So I guess we have our on little stress support group here! lol Hugs all around! (Including the animals...great stress relievers there.)

And Tiffany...I like the second quote better. lol "That which does not kill us can only make us stronger." Just the kind of person I am, I guess. lol
And then, of course, the All American Reject's lyrics:
" When all you got to keep is strong, move along, move along like I know you do. And even when your hope is gone, move along, move along just to make it through. Move along."
and "And when the sky is falling, don't look outside the window. Step back and here I'm calling. Give up don't take the fast road. It's just your doubt that binds you, just drop those thoughts behind you now..."

And Lost Wed. night was so good! I think Echo just bumped up into my #2 placing! (Sawyer, of course, being my fave. And Kate really needs to figure out who she likes...is it Jack or Sawyer? Pick already!!! lol)
