Usually I can handle stress just fine, but right now I have stress from all parts of my life. Work is stressful and there's a few situations that might blow up through no fault of mine, but I will have to deal with the fallout. Home is stressful, having to replace my air conditioner and furnace, and a few other financial things that have come up that need to be paid for. My personal life is stressful right now, On top of it, my ex is being more of an a** than usual regarding the kids. Why does everything have to pile on at once? I also haven't slept well the past few nights, probably because of too much stuff on my mind, so that just adds to all of it.
I know I need to just take a minute and breathe, but I don't even have time for that.

Big hugs to you.
Get into a quiet room, focus on a wonderful memory and breathe slowly in, hold a bit and then release your breathe. Do this as many times as needed.
Although finances are stressed, focus on something for a well deserved treat for you for when after *something* has been completed. A goal that is you will reach and then a treat for you as a reward for a well done task.

I hear ya! Feeling stressed over here too, but some of it is because I have a high school senior--its a fine line between wishing the stress away and knowing I need to savor this last year of him at home. But in the meantime there's so much to do and to decide on...all while dealing with the other stresses such as our younger son, work, health, money, etc.

There was a point in my lift where I was PLEADING with God for just one minute so I could breathe. More hugs!!!! |

You need to take care of yourself and your health, there is something extremely therapeutic about exercise which is enhanced if it's done outside. Even if it's 5 minutes - take the time. I hope things improve soon! |

I’m sorry that is a lot.
I agree try to get out for a sunset walk each evening if you can.
Also play some music - that always lifts my mood.

I'll add on to the you do have time to take a nice walk. Just do it. Sleeping poorly makes everything else seem even worse than it is.
Hugs and a big you can do this.
