STRESSED!!!

It's amazing what the human body can endure. Extreme heat & cold, Drought & famine, Happiness and sadness, and of course...STRESS!

We all react to stress in different ways. We punch walls and turn over tables. Some of us loose our hair, our faces breakout and we b r e a k d o w n- emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

We loose contact with our loved ones, we loose our minds...We loose ourselves.

And then there are the few who take all that stress, put it in our back pockets and we sit on it...we fill our lives with other "stuff" - cleaning, cooking, eating, blogging, twittering, children, work, or whatever and we just keep on going... We don't, nor do we want to, have time to deal with STRESS. Until one day we can't take it anymore. and hen we throw in the towel, and give up.

We've all reached that point..or at least I know I have. The point where you tell your self that "it ain't gonna happen again" or "I'll never allow things to get to that point again" but when we ;east expect it STRESS creeps right back in to our lives...

It can come from anywhere. A phone call in the middle of the day delivering upsetting news - news that under any other circumstance wouldn't be that bad. It can come in the form or a bill we just didn't expect to see "How the hell am I gonna pay $500.00 by Thursday??" No matter where the stress comes from it can be a real pain in the ass!

I know i need to learn how to deal with stress much better. Luckily I don't eat, or drink(at least not that much) to deal with stress, but I am guilty of filling my life with meaningless tasks so that I wont have to deal with the real issues...

No, this isn't a cry for help or anything like that...I'm not suicidal, or on the verge of a mental breakdown..I'm just realizing that I have alot more stress than I admit to....
