Sugar addiction I keep getting sucked back into. Last time I went 6 weeks and passed out giving blood so I got pumped full of juice. I don't really consider it a problem so much as something I have to keep working on. I have a habit of reframing problems into "things I have to do".
The IRS says I owe them 2400. I say they owe me 250. I screwed something up on a forum and I just spent 3 hours on the phone (mostly on hold) getting it straightened out...maybe...maybe not...it will work out but until it is I'm concerned over it.
A co-worker who is scared to death of me who has stopped speaking to me socially. It hurts like a mofo. I feel really self-conscious at work. It really makes me hate myself.
My consistently low self esteem and low self confidence. I've tried my whole life to make it better, but it never works. It's a feeling that comes. As a result, I feel unworthy to hold a high-paying job. I live in an expensive state and only make $40K a year. I feel like I cannot handle a higher paying job. I feel like I can't do it and I'm going to get fired for sure. Just browsing online about job openings and seeing a salary like $50K (which isn't even that high paying a all) instantly makes me feel like I have 2000 lbs. of pressure on my shoulders, and that's just from sitting in front of the computer LOOKING at the job opening! I've also seen $100K jobs and they scare me to death. But a low paying job like mine feels like no pressure to me and feels comfortable for me even though my job in reality can get stressful. I am terribly jealous of my CPA and RN friends who make $100K without batting an eye.
1. I don't like my job (but it's not that bad)
2. I can't be with the person I'm crushing on (sucks)
3. My cat keeps waking me up at night (but I still love her)
I got sick with bronchitis and felt the awful feeling of choking and feeling anxious for the past week. I feel better now thankfully the awful feelings of choking and sickness are gone, but now I feel kind of depressed and anxious and like what's the point of life - I just want to go back to how I felt before I got sick. I know it sounds dramatic but I was in the ER 4 times in the span of a week and I guess it just took a toll on my mental health not to mention physical. I guess recovery will take a little bit more time maybe.
It kind of put into perspective how my school problems are NOTHING compared to that. I'm never taking my good health for granted ever again!!!
My biggest problem is getting my "adult" kids on track and keeping them there
Other problems---can't seem to go two days without either dh or me running to a doctor, dentist, or vet for.....something! We don't really have that many health problems, but each diagnosis wants so many tests, etc. I think its all just a money grab
It's terrible and for no reason. I know it stems from the abuse I got but at this point it's detrimental to my life. I started at a new school this semester and so far I haven't made any friends because I put on a "Resting ***** face" 95% of the time to protect myself.
I have anxiety that causes me to just freeze instead of fixing the situation. I have anxiety over everything. I even have anxiety over not waking up on time for class, so I often sleep 3 hours or less.
I'm stressed out a lot over this move I am making into an older house (1970) because every day I have to pay to have something else fixed or upgraded and other than the painting I'm not talking cosmetic stuff; I'm talking roof, water heater, insulation and now a possible repipe of the plumbing. As a widow I sometimes feel like I am being taken advantage of because these sales people figure I don't know any better. They don't know I have you guys. :-) The things I really wanted to do like the kitchen are being put on the back burner for now. In the greater scheme of things I'm still very fortunate that this older house survived hurricane Irma with not a bit of damage other than a small tree fell down.
I'm concerned that my mother, who is 82, is slipping mentally. I don't think she has dementia yet but I see a definite slow down, mostly in the last 6 months.
I'm annoyed that I can't sleep past 5 a.m. anymore. I used to be able to sleep till 9 or 10 a.m. if I wanted. Not anymore. I'm falling asleep between 10 and 11 p.m. these days when I used to stay up till 1 or 2 in the morning. I prefer getting up early but I would rather it be at 6:30 or 7:00 a.m.
I'm upset that we keep having these mass shootings. While I am a support of gun rights I do believe semi-automatic weapons and the modifications that can be made to them to turn them into automatic need to be banned. No person, other than one in the military needs these kinds of weapons. Nowhere is safe anymore.
I'm stressed because I need to have my gallbladder out plus I have been having some severe back issues which is not very convenient right now as I'm moving in 13 days.
Thank you for this thread. I haven't really expressed my angst over recent developments. :-)
