Just Stressed Out Right Now - Car Problems, Marriage Problems, Stressed.

I am sorry you're going thru all of this. Take it day by day and don't look too far ahead right now. Love up your kitties, that will be very helpful. Know that you have friends here and trust me that counts for alot.

You know I'm going thru a divorce (it's nasty), I've been abused for alot of years, I had been isolated and I thought I had no friends, that no one cared. That I was going to have to go thru all of this alone. But the wonderful people here who said such wonderful things gave me hope that I could get thru all of this. It's very hard, but checking in here every day brings a bright spot to every day.

You will be ok. Take it slowly. Remember to breathe deeply. I am here for you anytime.

It seems that no matter what is going on in our lives, if we have enough money, we're able to handle it. When money is short, it just adds to the stress. Add physical pain to the mix and it's no wonder that you're stressed. Sciatica can be excruciating and it's difficult to think clearly when you're having an episode. My advice, for what it's worth, is to let up on the cat rescue for a while. I know, it's difficult; you don't want to turn your back on them but you've got to take care of yourself first. If you're physically unable to work, then you really will be in a bind. The cats have made it this far w/o you and you have your own furkids to think of and, more importantly, your marriage. I would do everything I could to eliminate the sources of stress, if possible, and focus only on that which can be fixed. Right now, you've got to get that pain under control. If the injection didn't help, my guess is that it's probably b/c stress is causing you to tense up. Be kind to yourself, Melissa, and know that your PT friends are here.

If anyone needs support going through a divorce I am here for you. My ex was not physically abusive but mentally. He left me for someone else after 17 years of marriage and I was devastated at the time but now that it is over and I am on my on I am stronger than ever.

Thank you everyone for writing. I just don't know where we (my husband and I) are headed and the thought of losing some of my cats because I can't take care of 10 on my own and I wouldn't want to take all of them away from him either.

I went to see that doctor but this was just a talking interview to see if he should test me for that or find out if I have something else.

So he thinks it would be a good idea to the test and find out and he said that there are medications out there that would help too and if I do have it then the medications would work.

He has to have a block of 4 hours for this test even though he said it won't take 4 hours but he needs that amount of time to review the test results and what not. My appt. for the test is on March 26 at 9 a.m. I'm figuring I'll just take off the whole day from work so I don't need to worry about going into work feeling stressed about a test or anything like that.

He gave me a take home test to take too and it's 330 something questions on it plus another sheet I have to fill out and see if my husband can fill out the other sheet on me. I told him I think I would have a hard time reading what he wrote so he told me not to look at it and have my husband put in an envelope so I'm going to take his suggestion.

I finally caught the cat that I wanted to the other morning so at least I'm done with that rescue but there are a few others I need to get and I'm trying to help this lady out since she has a very busy schedule but I'll do what I can.

Today I also had my 4th injection and I have 2 more to go. I might go out and cat trap tonight so I'm not around anyone so maybe my emotion won't be so high or so that way I don't fight with my husband.

That's about all for now. My car was only $225 thank goodness.

A77, I really know how you feel...I actually have been feeling just like you for the past two months. Everything has just gone wrong, my job and quitting and now I'm still not in a permanent job that I want to stay. We have a wedding coming up we have to save for let alone we have to save for an apartment...sigh...I'm surprised I haven't gone into menopause early

I even thought that my taxes were going to save me for awhile, cause I usually get a large amount back, then I found out I was only getting 115 back thanks to my employer who wasn't taken barely any taxes off of me for a full year. I was so upset, I just cried and cried and wanted to just run away from everything forever.

But Daniel (my fiance) and my parents told me how much they loved me and were telling me that things will get better. My father helped me telling me how I should or shouldn't spend my little bit of money I have. Everyone just cared for me so much...so I'm still in the middle of hoping for a call saying "you're hired" from a really good paying full-time job...but I've been feeling better the last few days cause I am finally just thinking, there's nothing I can do except wait and try to be happy with what I already have.

Ok, well I am sorry for writing a little novel lol, your post just struck me as to how bad I have been...and things still aren't much better, but I think they are progressing to be better.

I hope everything gets better for you and for you and your husband. I don't know if you believe in God or not, but I do, so if you do, try praying that everything will get better
