Is it a job? Kids? A partner who won’t listen? Whats causing you the most stress in life currently? Let it all out here if you like.
or are you stress free right now? Or able to fight any stress effectively despite any hardships you’re facing?
Well, around graduation, I didn’t have a lot of the “stresses” that my fellow classmates had- even those who were *honorary* and seemingly, were going to colleges their parents had picked FOR THEM, and some getting their friends to join JUST BECAUSE THEY themselves were going…
All of them struggled to grasp an idea of where they’d be going in life, and they did very poorly of hiding the noticeable traits/expressions from their faces.
At that time, I was extremely lighthearted and doubly free-minded. Zero weights on my shoulders and I was glad I didn’t have to be making the same/ similar decisions, as they.
Now, it has somewhat come back to “haunt me;” not college itself, but certain factual obligations, and it’s not that it was always coming. It just came more surely because of my family’s history and my failure to SEE that part, and my failure to plan AHEAD (to ensure there were currency and mental/emotional/ passionate buffers along the ways); More like take action way, wayyyy ahead of the game.
Due to these factors and truths, yes, the ‘financial department’ is my stressor, but obviously, and luckily, that is not something that remains stagnant. Movement is always possible, so with my logical mind, I know I can overcome the stress. ✨ Will I be intentional ALL THE WAY through? That’s ideal, but if I can’t get myself to just be “disciplined” in that, then I’ll always rely on circumstances to keep my/the “pedal to the metal,” instead of me choosing that and having nothing on my shoulders, or pushing me externally- but internally. 🧘♀️ 🧠 💭🤓🧐
I don’t think I can.. I mean.. why would I ever internally decide I have to value working (painfully and seemingly, increasingly hard to live? It’s absolutely bonkers to me (feel free to laugh or gasp at that belief, lol), but I feel like it’s the borders and framework of society that makes it this way.
For instance- I DON’T like job interviews. Why? I don’t trust an employer to actually make the right decision and HIRE me lol. I know what I bring… and I know they’re obligated by laws.. to offer financial compensation for my time and efforts served up, on my part of the partnership, but do I- and can I trust them to make the smart decision, in investing in my candidate? No. No I don’t, and nor do they know how I ever truly am or will be, even.
Many employers ( I feel, and guesstimate) are not “broad-minded” or take in the whole picture. They just look for candidates who “meet certain standards” and many times.. unfortunately, their OWN personally CONCEIVED standards. Do I think every employer and boss of a company has actual LEADERSHIP qualities? Progressive traits? Are they visionaries? I can say confidently- I don’t think many of them are.
It’s these twisted systems that fuel these twisted overflows into cesspools, of bizarre craziness.
Someome put them in their job because of those biased-likes along with the fine-ISH numbers and black-and-white print, and so they not being passionate in their line of work, and lacking critical thinking, then repeat that in their hiring of the proper/ according subordinates.
Is it fair? No. Is life fair? It is. Society is the one that’s a bit “ehhh.”
Due to these simple things that run deep, I am stressed in a very miniscule thing called “finance,” which I should not have to sweat a single drop of perspired energy/ uneasiness, otherwise.
It’s this small navigation process, and a small breakthrough of an “invisible ceiling” or breaking through a layer of (metaphorical) ice that will encourage the thriving/ successful flow into all other sectors.
Financials... but like I already earn good and I can take care of me and my family financially and it's totally fine for now but I wanna make more money and buy my mom a house so she can enjoy her retirement in peace and earlier then in 20 years and I want to be able to make every wish of my loved ones come true and I'm kinda stressing myself with that and how to get it lol

Family issues right now. It really isn't all that bad but I'm a bit tired of dealing with it.
School friends family, financially, third year in highschool, it isn't easy with all my time occupied and not having time for my friends since some would feel left out if I don't talk to them for longer than 2 weeks. I don't know how to tell them without hurting their feelings or making them in a position where they aren't a priority. I also don't want to disappoint my parent and even so nothing is enough, it's too stuffy. I also can't work my part-time job of teaching English thus have no money and my parents has to pay my tuition plus inflammation in my country.
So, the main issue is studies and it generates my other issues.
My friend really needs to be in the hospital for her mental health problems, but those fucks at Kaiser (California HMO) discharged her too early the last time and she probably will not be able to go back. She is very suicidal and no care is available to her.
My job is getting me really low. Not the work or the conditions, as both are excellent. Salary is very good, too.
I am simply homesick. Living in Netherlands was great at first. Job is good. Apartment is good. Life style is as good as it gets.
I just want to be back in UK.
Being free for a lot of time. My session is over. Yes, it's a great opportunity for music and writing and yes I spend hours of my time on that but still, I have a lot of time left. I like studying so this isn't really good for me. Also I have read every novel and story book in my home, ordered a set from Amazon and it'll reach after a week. So yes I will read that set till I get my 10th grade books and start studying that before the session starts.
The Ukraine Russian war. Every time Russians are allowed to attack the Ukrainian civilian population with impunity, my friends are in danger.
This is total bullshit.
s I have to have a not-so-nice serious talk with my dad, and I’m putting it off because I’m so nervous. He doesn’t know yet that I want to talk to him.
studying I guess...
Either I dumber than I believed to be (to simplify it an overly great deal) or doing what I aspire to do is harder than I believed it to be.
My weight...
I know that seems like a minor stressor, but it's important to me so yes, it stresses me out, a lot!
Which is ironic as cortisol from stress makes it harder for you to lose weight 🙄
Other than that, my life really isn't that stressful. At least nothing worth complaining about
My health probably. Nothing like experiencing symptoms for 2 years and your Dr just looking at you like 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Trying to get Bach's Minuet #2 played perfectly so I can play it in a rehearsal plus learning the Piano accompaniment for Schubert's version of Ave Marie and the Violin Melody of it, Plus, getting my Yoga practice perfect. Oh... and answering questions like this one on GAG.
That is stressing the hell out of me
s I would say it's my financial situation. If I don't manage to solve it, then I won't be able to leave the country. And if I don't leave, then my life won't improve.
I chose the last option.
However, I'm quite upset with our (California) Governor and our (US) President.
Their stupid decisions cause me a li'l bit of stress.
For me it's definitely my family, they're being very difficult as of right now. Lol most of my family members are already older and they're very stubborn.
I have done stress so long that I don't even know the difference anymore. Regular physicals and good blood work etc... and i do not worry about it.
''Stress'' actually has a problem with ME! :D
If I'd want to, I could identify plenty of stress causes around me; but I manage to detach from such issues emotionally.
What's left, is only tasks to deal with.
None of the above. I have an old ankle injury that flared up and I wanna push hard at the gym to work out but I have to take it easy. Rest, ice... it's annoying.
My cat, he needs a wife these days and he's looking for excuses to fight me because I haven't found him a wife yet
Still my living situation, like it's always been lmao 🥹
Finances, this business is expensive and keeping the cash moving is tough with the speed of the postal system
