My job is a HIGH stress job.. Before I could manage the stress alot better.. now that Im alone, its alot harder to manage it. Add on having an autistic son and being a single mom... UGH!!!

LAUGHING always relieves stress!!

take a walk or go to the gym.. those are great stress relievers.

You could've taken off a lot of stress, if you chose to have kids later in your life.
 
I know. I'm not saying that you should hate them, because that's not my intentions at all! I'm telling you that there were easier ways to prevent loads of stress coming your way.

lol! telling her she could have waited to have kids wasn't really helpful. Going to the gym or taking a walk seems to center Veronica, gives her time to exercise and think. I can't see anything else being easier in helping her out.

I know. I didn't word it correctly, but I think she hopefully understands what I'm trying to say.
 
Things crop up that you don't actually plan for or foresee. Example relationships breaking up for one reason or another not necessarily based on fault of one of the parties. Kids come into play at times early in the relationship when there's no reason to believe there would be a cause for break up later on.

On that premise it's a mute point to suggest that one can avoid stress by not having kids earlier. While that may be true to a point, given the circumstance when it may have happened, it's not one of the things that one can control as in other matters. In such circumstances one has to accept the reality of the situation and work toward how best to deal with it in the interest of all.
 
The main thing that stresses me out is my boys 3rd and Kindergarten drama. :confused Whos not friends with who this week... "Mommy, they wont let me join their club". Whos butt does mommy or daddy have to kick today? Sheesh, its like a soap opera. :willy_nilly:
Really tho, Im learning to deal with it better. :D Other then my boys and their life, things dont bother me as much as they used to in the past.
And if I have a stressful day, a glass of wine and/or a jacuzzi works wonders.
 
I guess I hadn't realized, but I've been fairly stress-free lately. I used to worry about money and where I would live. But those issues are resolved and hopefully won't ever be a worry anymore. My stress now is this TMJ condition.
I cope in different ways. Sometimes, I just get so exhausted that I sleep for 12-14 hours. Sometimes I use alcohol. Sometimes I work more than I need to. I tend to keep to myself about stress.

Ditto Peter. It does tend to take your mind off other stuff which in turn relieves stress and also a great avenue for expressing opinions and debating on a variety of matter. And of course there is the support aspect in the mix also.

As long as I come online and see AEF and SupBro...my stress is still inside of me.
 
Stress? Typically I would say I don't have it but I just found out that my sister needs to go to the dentist because she has 4 teeth that are screwed up and she has no insurance so now I have to fiqure out how to get her the money because she has no western union near her. Im thinking that the wal-mart moneygram will work but they are closed now and I can't call them to find out.
 
Stress... I have lots of it. Which is probably why I have mostly grey hair at 28. Work stresses me, traffic and all that. Money or lack there of now. My relationship. Bills. How do I releive it? I don't know that I do. I guess I sleep it off? I dunno. I keep alot of it built up. Yeah its not good. But what can I do? :confused
