Well I dont really have any advice for you hun cause I am still a baby living at home, but I do have bills to pay. I hope everything works out for you. You know you can always vent any problems you have on here and there will always be people to listen without judging you. *hugs*
PS Think of it this way, at least you know you can afford all of your bills, I cant move out of my parents house because I know I cant afford it. Hope this little insight makes you feel a little better  |

I feel the same every week when I have to pay bills. Just keep your head up and be strong. Enjoy it now and be happy that you finally have your feet back on the ground. You'll be alright. Cheer up buttercup. =) *HUGS*  |

Bethie Moo, the idea of having people to vent with/to makes me feel a little better,hearing that other folks can't make it never makes me feel good at all.* that may have come off as grouchy but not intended at all*  |

Andrea, I wish so much I could float around giddy and happy,I should be feeling that way,that was one major stress point for me, the bills and how to pay them..I really think I have gone so many months on edge that I can't just say hey ,you are ok,smile,relax and calm down and enjoy the fact you are not ready to pull your hair out in frustration  I am a big wacko anyway I will eventually settle down and things will calm down for me ((((Andrea and Bethie Moo))))) |

I think I know exactly how you are feeling. My life the last couple of years has been a roller coaster, my husband in Korea for a year, moving across the country, husband deployed to Iraq for a year, he came back, we built a house, he put in his retirment paperwork, he had to find a job so we could stay here--seems like I've lived with constant stress for a solid two years....now we live in the house, he has a good job--makes more than he was making, he'll never deploy again..everything should be great, right? So why was I just sitting here crying for no reason? Why don't I feel like going anywhere or doing anything? Can't sleep at night, but exhausted during the day, I've lost 8 pounds, the thought of eating makes me want to puke...bleh, I wish I could just slap myself out of this mood...Maybe we just have to learn to live without constant stress, it that makes any sense.  |

Kelly you sound like me almost exactly ,I sleep at night but feel wrung out all day long like I never slept at all..stress does wonderful things to a person huh ? I think we just need to somehow remind ourselves a few times each day,we are ok,it is time to relax now..maybe try and sit for a few minutes each day and just breathe and even talk into a mirror,tell yourself that everything is ok now,even make goofy faces at yourself to get a laugh out of you (((HUG))) you need one. |

kelly I also think stress in some way turns into a form of depression..not wanting to do what you normally enjoyed doing,change in appetite, weight loss or gain,lack of sleep etc... I was thinking of talking to my doctor if I can't shake the feelings. |

Hey Medusa! Sorry to hear that you are feeling this way, and I think you are right, sometimes it IS hard to relax after speding so much time all keyed up and worried about things, its like your body gets stuck in that mode or something...before you turn to docs or meds, please try other options first. For me, walking about two miles every day helps tremendously on so many levels, mentally and physically...Try that for about a month before you see a doc.  |

Yep..it feels like I'm hungover in the morning after a restless night with little sleep. I've been thinking of going to the doctor to, I just keep putting it off. It's funny, I figured my husband would be the one having the problem adjusting after being in Iraq for a year. He's fine, which is great, I just never thought it would be me.. |
