Stress


I am really stressed right now. I have so much going on that is becoming overwhelming. My brain is in over load mode. I have so much information to retain from all directions. I have to remember information for work, school, family, friends, coach for football, medical issues information and household bills. I am not looking for a pity party. I am just expressing my thoughts to get some stress relief by talking about it. I am currently searching for a new job to make more money. I have kept my low paying job for way too long and it is time to move on. We know how it is. If you do not get the promotion you were promised then it is time to move on. I know this is part of corporate America. Anyway, I have a phone interview. Can you believe I have to prep for a 30 minute phone interview? Well I do. Do not take this wrong, I am grateful for even being chosen for a phone interview. I am going in the direction of how things have changed. Things have changed in more ways than one.
I miss my younger days of no responsibility. All I had to do was go to school, do house chores and go outside to play. As I stated previous paragraph I am stressed now. There is so much responsibility to maintain it causes stress, especially when you have very limited help within your household. Let’s say I have a house full of grown folks and a pet dog. Why do I have to come home from work to make sure the dog is taking care of properly? This is something no one should have to stress over. Well, I do because of how the people in my house do not think and seem to be grateful with having a place to stay. Like today, I have this interview I need to prep for. I am unable to because my dog is sick and no one wants to help me out and keep an eye on my dog to help me out. These are the things we deal with for family. I really want to get a new job to make more money to be able to provide and help them get on their feet. I think I need to demand a little more gratitude from them before I start breaking my back for them. I try to be nice and not be selfish. I do not want to be selfish. Ungrateful people really try you but we must maintain our positive mind state in order to receive our many blessing for being a caring and giving person.
I will make tonight a late night and early morning to prep for my phone interview tomorrow and hope for the best. I will work on managing my time a lot better to relieve some stress through exercise which I plan to start on Monday. If any other ideas I am open to what you have!

  1. Wow, sounds like things are getting worse... I was hoping that a couple months would make your home situation better. Good luck with the interview. I hope that your doggy feels better asap.

  2. It sounds like your heart is in the right place trying to help the people you live with but at the same time don't forget about your needs. If it were me I would pray for strength, peace, and ask God to speak through me to your room mates. Explain to them how you want to help them but being part of a family or household takes cooperation from everyone involved and set some ground rules and explain if these aren't met then other arrangements will need to be made. Good luck with your interview and remember we are on God's time not our time so you will get every thing you are seeking when the time is right!
