    fri 14 september - feeling stressy

    morning all

    Friday today, thank god. I feel stressed and jittery, I have eaten junk a lot/eaten too much last few days and not exercised so feeling pressure to do 3 sessions this weekend (which I can and may help my mood to be honest,it's time for me)
    i have a roblem with all my goals in that as soon as a lapse I stress and convince my self i can't achieve. I'm not looking forward to weekend either, just feel stressed.
    Always feel I have too much to do cleaning, cooking, work, exercise, try to get a creative hobby plus seeing all my friends, my relationship,decorate house at some point, buy new work clothes etc.

    I know in reality I don't have a hard life certainly compared to many, I have no kids, we both work full time in ok paid jobs and have a full social life - not that bad really!
    I may keep a mood diary, some of it is pmt but I have this dread of the day each day before it begins, I also had decided on strategies - breathing meditation, exercising regularly, planning my meals so not resorting to junk.
    Too much is going round my head, may help me to write it down. I feel i just have a never ending to do list all the time.friend over tonight (well oh's friend really) from Auz - I just want to stay in. In fact whenever I think of social stuff at the moment I kind of dread it.I am also less tolerant of others ( I think oh is way too tolerant, in fact a doormat - except if it's me).
    Plus trying to regulate booze and I have just quit smoking (lapsed on wed while drinking a bottle of wine)

    Don't know whether to go out or to stay in tonight, want to stay in but I feel I should go. Just want to go to gym, have sauna,watch DVD and go to bed early.
    Also don't have much cash left.
    Hopefully my other posts will be perkier!

    Hello Bear. Crickey...you give yourself a hard time don't you! Giving up smoking may well make you feel jittery as you have nothing to do with your hands. I have recently given up too. Its sounds to me like you need some TLC and if I were you I would do what YOU want to do this weekend. Stuff anyone else. YOU are important and you need to be calm and think...."one thing at a time". Good luck. Bella xxxx

      thanks - yes I am the queen of giving myself a hard time, just confided in a couple of friends who've been very understanding - not so much OH sadly.
      Not that he doesn't listen, just feel he gives more attention to others when they're down than me, if I'm even slightly grumpy ever it's a huge deal,whereas he will take tonnes of shit from flaky friends and that's fine. I have pmt too...

        bear it does seem like you are kicking yourself around a lot. Seems like now would be a good time to pick just a couple of goals & accomplish them instead of trying to do so much. Moderating your drinking & quitting smoking are probably the two most important things you can do for yourself. Concentrate on that alone for the next couple of months & see what happens. Just my 2 cents. For myself I have been AF since last Sat looking forward to a few beers over the weekend. But I must stay in control. I am in charge not the Alcohol.

        Have a great weekend everybody!

            bear - may be it is time to journal out what your life goals & purpose is . You can get books &/or tapes to help you do this. We all get caught up in the daily merry-go-round, sometimes we just have to step off for a bit & see if it is the merry-go-round we want. Life changes.

              Hey Bear, I like Crysa's idea of a journal. I've been thinking I need to do that as well. I get so caught up in what everyone else needs and wants that I forget I have needs and wants as well. Then I turn to that comfy cozy bottle of wine, and don't even notice that no one-including me- is taking care of me. Take it easy on yourself, and if you want to stay in, put on jammies, and watch a movie, you should. Sounds like a great plan to me.

              To all else, hope you have a great mods Friday, and a wonderful weekend. Sending hugs and happy thoughts to all:h
