overwhelmed...
I am so exhausted and stressed. Way too much is going on that I am having trouble accepting and dealing with and I just don't know what to do anymore.
I am not going to get into much detail about what is going on because there is just so much and it would really be too much for anyone to read. I just need to vent about how I am feeling at the moment; I am completely overwhelmed.. not even for selfish reasons but because so many others need me right now and are counting on me and the pressure is getting to be too much especially when I am struggling with personal battles too. I am losing control of my feelings and the feeling of that is overwhelming... I can't focus on anything right now which really annoys me because it is making me also feel powerless. There is so much at stake and I don't know where to begin to work through it. I have been through hard times before that were just as tough but never this many issues all in one blow, which I guess is why I feel so overwhelmed. I really wish I could find my tears and let some out but right now I can't, I can never let myself cry when I want/need to. I want so badly to be able to manage my feelings and have more control over the situations I am currently dealing with... but everyday something else is added to the pile.

^ agreed.
i find myself not being able to release stress alot of the time, in ways i used to be able to. and even people i used to be able to talk to, i cant anymore. but there are few, mostly one, that i can. and its not even that htey offer advice, its that they are there. but it took me awhile to honestly get there.

I think a good vent-session with a friend (Haugen Daus ice cream optional), a loooooong hot bath, and a good sleep would do you right.
Chin up hun. It really will get better! For me it helps when talking to friends to try and break down all the things that are bothering me and then figure out how to deal with them individually or cope with them at least. But that rational usually comes after I've spouted off about how frustrating everything is and how helpless and annoyed I feel. Then I get down to business.

^ that is the same problem I have except I really don't have anyone I fully trust at the moment. Not to mention the fact that I don't want others worrying about me or feeling sorry for me and all that junk.
These days I tend to hold my own and suck it up. It is just getting more difficult to do so as something keeps coming up one on top of the other. As for my friends, I really don't know who I can trust to really be there. I mean I have a pretty good idea who I could probably reach out to but I just have really horrible communication problems with shit like this. I always tend to avoid discussing my "problems" and feelings with people because I have never really had anyone that ended up to be truly trustworthy and there for me. meh, I will find some way to get through it all eventually... it is just completely frustrating while I am stuck in the middle of it right now. BLAH!

start a journal if you dont already have one.... thats what i started doing a few days ago... i find it helps to relieve tension that builds up inside you. . sometimes its to hard to speak about it .. but writing it down does help

^ I've gone through several journals over the years, used to write about anything and everything in them... I rarely write in a journal anymore though. Maybe I should try to start one back up again though.

yea... ^^thats good...... just write down a bit at a time.... it doesnt even have to be about your problems.. it can be about something you did as a kid... something that was fun and that made you happy...write about whatever youwant...... or even just go for a walk or to the gym... release some energy.... do something out of the ordinary.....

It looks like today is going to be another nice day out. I'm counting on these nice days so I can take long walks and clear my head, it seems to be helping a little bit.
