Stressing

[tracky]

:mad:

i need some ying for my yang


there's too much stuff going on in my life right now, and none of it is making me happy, despite the fact that I feel like it should. i feel so tense and no one wants to talk to me because i'm so snappy. they've flat out told me this. i need to calm down. relax. but i can barely even get to sleep at night :( I keep telling myself it'll all be over soon. I damn well hope so. Boss is in my ear right now telling me to do shut and i'm not even listening. ugh better go do this crap.

more rant to come later

or maybe not. i think that's off my chest now. well not really. but here's probably not really the place either.

Without having too many details I can only offer general advice. First, get more exercise and physical activity, I promise it will reduce stress. I don't want to hear any excuses about not having the time either, make the time! Which leads me to number two, priorities. Often times we clutter ourselves with things that when we sit and think about just don't matter. Figure out what is really important to you and worth worrying about and what's not. Then get rid of the shit on your plate you don't need.

dude, it only gets worse. Some people just have it like that. I have it bad too i.e.- everytime I go to the cash register, their machine ends up fucking up so I have to stand in line for 10 mins. Shit like that. Just learn to cope with it and it's not that bad.

I'll give you a hug. Hows that sounds?

[tracky]

I'll give you a hug. Hows that sounds?

that's all i really need :)


it is little things like that, eric. But then there's also bigger things that make the little things worse, I guess. I dunno. I'm not usually very stressed. I don't have to deal with much shut usually, I just sit and watch the grass grow. But right now I'm trying to deal with moving house, buying a new car, selling the wrecked remains of my old car, fighting the insurance company for money, negotiating new pay and work conditions, fuck there's more. i can't even remember all the shit i need to do. :( I gotta go furniture shopping. I havn't even got a car which is pissing me right off. Can't get anywhere without a lift or an hour on the bus. i guess some people would just take all this shit in their stride. But I'm a big sook :p I don't want to have to deal with all this stuff, which has all been forced on me at the same time. It's not really all that bad, I should be happy i'm getting a pay rise and moving into the house I wanted. I used to be a glass-half-full type, but lately it's been half empty :(

*hugs hugs hugs*
feel nice and good!! :)

[ericlee]

oh yeah, I forgot about your ride. That does explain alot. For one thing, the loss of a "family" member. I remember when my stupid ex wrecked my car. For one thing the sentimental part hurts but I do think the worse part is not being able to go when you choose cause of transportation reasons. Not being able to leave gives you more time to think how bad it is.

Eh, it'll get better hopefully

[tracky]

thanks lindsey :) even if they were virtual it made me feel better :)

Yeah I just need to ride it out. Things have got to get better. I mean a new car, new house, more money. But you're right, it does hurt to see my car go :( I think that's really one of the things that's depressing me the most

[fucktopgirl]

well dont cry,its just a car :D
just keep something sentimental from it like the hubcap

[tracky]

Yeah I have a grill badge in my room.

In all honesty, though, it wasn't just a car. If I wanted to replace it I wouldn't be able to, because it's a very rare car. So rare in fact, the guy who bought it is going to try and repair it, despite every other crash repairer telling me you would have to be crazy to try and fix it. Best of luck to him, I say (y) Might see it on the road again yet.

[fucktopgirl]

rare like how rare
wich kind

[tracky]

It's only a 1969 toyota corolla, but it's the coupe model which are as rare as hens teeth these days. I had to prove the value of it to the insurance company using previous sales as a reference. There has only been 1 sold internationally, that I can find, in the last year.

[fucktopgirl]

yea my bf said its rare too(i had to ask)
but why you dont keep it then and one day you redo it and make big$

[tracky]

I don't really have the knowledge, skills, equipment, place to store it etc. I could've paid someone to fix it, but that is mega bucks. The guy who's going to try and fix it up is a mechanic, and will probably do it over the course of 6 months or something like that.

[fucktopgirl]

yep definitely being a mechanic would help a little bit!

my bf is mechanic and he is into vw(especially baja,buggy)
its really handy,because when something broke,there is nothhing he can't fix,almost :D

anyway keep the stress low,not good for your blood pressure
drink some camomille tea :p it may help!

[tracky]

I just bought a new car :D 2000 Honda Accord V6-L

tracky,
for what it's worth: when I'm over my head in shit - which happens on an all too regular basis - I try to sit back for a moment and take the emotions out of the equation. There's always a lot of stuff that you can't do a thing about, so I try to ignore that until the rest is out of the way. That tends to do the trick.
If it can help, make a list of things to do or stuff on your mind, tick off all the stuff that you can't do anything about and, for the other stuff, try to figure out what's most important. Like: you probably need the job and the pay to fund the new house and car, right? So get that settled first. Then get the insurance payback started since that'll probably take forever to settle anyway. Is furniture for the new house that big of an issue? Could you settle with some old stuff for the moment?
See what I mean? Just write it down and ask the questions and it will all seem a lot less of a bother.......eh, I hope.

Anyway, just my 2 cents worth
