Anybody else hella stressed?

Question

Its taking everything in me right now to hold it together at work. I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night since I stayed up most of the night crying. One of my closest uncles who was like a dad to any and everyone has passed away. My grandpa just stopped by while im working and he nearly collapsed in my arms. He and I hardly ever cry about shit but this one really hit. I’m tryna be strong for him but its so hard. And then his brother, my other uncle fell out and had a seizure because he had to walk in and find one of his big brothers dead last night. And then my dude is down bad, crying because he's sick after letting his friends peer pressure him into drinking again. I feel like I’m carrying a lot on my shoulders. I’m just gonna keep praying but golly… I can only take so much. I’m shaking yo  #FeelFreeToList

I am sorry to hear what you are
Going through , I am pretty much in the same boat , dealing with a lot of stress as well and not knowing which way to turn , I just keep taking each day as it comes and trying not to let negativity to take over me , Ever since I last my Mom and my older brother that passed within a few months apart , I felt my whole world crash before my eyes , it seems things have just been spiraling downwards ever since that occurred , I try to keep my head up as much as possible and focus on my well being as much as possible , hoping positive energy stays with me, I know it’s easier said than done but that’s what I been doing to keep myself safe and content the best way I can , it seems so much negativity is around us to the point it’s hard to grasp complete happiness , I keep praying every day that I get through this funk and pray things will get better , life has definitely hit me with a left hook out of nowhere , the only thing I can do is move forward even though at times I feel like jumping off a bridge , but I don’t have the balls to that and I know that isn’t going to solve anything , We are here on this planet for a reason , all we Can do is try our best to keep moving forward reaching for love and happiness , Hang in there , And try to focus on things that make you happy and Content the best you can

just breath, take some deep breaths when you get overwhelmed, you can get through this. i lost my parents back to back and then a best friend one after the other and i have no family. i won't ever lie and tell you time will heal the pain. because it doesn't, but in time each passing day it gets easier to move forward and cope with what's happened- knowing its what your loved one wants, you to thrive.

as for your dude tell him you are either part of the problem or the solution in life.

ask him, does he want to be at the mercy of peer pressure till he is 70? life isn't easy for a lot of us, the choices we make sometimes are hard but are for our better, sometimes you out grow friends and have to move on. you want better -be better, don't be a follower, don't be anyone's puppet but your own creator of what you want in life.

peace and love to you and your family 💕💕💕

First of all, my condolences for your loss. I know words won’t be enough from a person you hardly know but my prayers go out to you and your family. 🙂

I hope things get sorted and settled in your end with your family. Allow yourself some space to Decompress. I know it feels very overwhelming at the moment but it does settle with time.

Fabiloso · Answer

That is a lot but it shouldn't be on you. All grieve differently. there's barely anyone who would effect me like that if they passed but my brother is probably the highest in potential to completely break me and to a point of suicide. So I could imagine the pain felt there. Im sorry its all at once. Usually the best help is to do something all together in a sort of remembering but accepting kind of way. If you can its better to try and make that loss into positive energy as muvh as you can. I think of it as what the person who passed would want to see us doing. I'd rather push to take a family vacay or go to a themepark with fam amidst a heavy loss than just a funeral we gather for.

RoseySarah · Answer

ohsheeT · Answer

I look at you as being a very strong person but my God that's just too much all at one time

There's nothing in this world I can say to make things better that you need to go out on a nice warm day and go for a walk breathe in and breathe out through your nose only get some oxygen through your blood in those moments you will get the answer you need

Curmudgeon · Answer

Have you told your employer (s)? Even the hardest of them should understand death in the family. I don't know what kind of leave hours or vacation hours you earn in your employment contract or if you even are in such a situation, but do investigate your options.

As for your dude, does he have any options to getting help similar to what I just described in his job?

RavVid · Answer

That is a helluva of a day. I'm glad you are in a better place today but it is going to take some time to work through with your uncle. All I can say is value what he gave you and you him.

I had thought I had a major week with a neighbor going off pysch meds but it just doesn't compare.

iron_ninjs · Answer

I'm sorry for your loss. 😢 It must be a tough couple of days. If I can be of help, I'm here.
To answer the question, yes I'm stressed. The " house makeover isn't going as planned. Some of thr people I hired for painting and other things keep bailing, so I have to fo their work too. They shouldn't expect the full payment for their work, since I did more than half of it.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I'm so sorry Desii. I really know what you're going through. I've been through so many family members dying. You shouldn't be at work. Take some time to grieve. He is in a better place now. He isn't in one place, he is next to everyone who loved him, including you. My thoughts and prayers are going out to you and your family. Sending you big hugs

DreamLife7 · Answer

Omg girl, something is in the air cause I've been going through shit too. I hope all is well with your grandpa. Has he been sick or is it sudden? Yeah ove been stressed lately work, school and family. Ready for the new year just tired. think I want to move too

SunnyRS · Answer

I am going to suggest something that might not help but I think it might make you feel a bit relaxed.
Just go inside your room when you reach home close the door and cry, take a pillow and yell in it or just text someone who will listen to you and let everything you are feeling out.
It's not much of a support, for that I am sorry and sorry that I can't do more, but it may be of some help.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

You are not alone. I am stressed too. May god give you strength to handle the stress. You don't have to carry so much on your shoulders. Stop over thinking and stop over reacting. at least you have the guts to write what you are going through.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Not really I don't really stress about stuff, not to say I don't go through stressful stuff but I kinda just learned that stressing out about stuff doesn't really do anything productive.

Nirmroth · Answer

Sounds like its time to call in sick for at least a week or two.
