BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Stress Management What is This Week's Stress for you?

We are here to help you out!

Post what is stressing you this week. We will help you find a solution, or at least help you feel less stressed about that item!

Stress causes serious harm to your health. The hormones have a physical effect on your body. Together we can learn to reduce stress, so you are a more happy, healthy person!

I'm guessing it's going to be getting caught up with email after being gone for a week. Insane amounts and most of it is not junk. At least I don't have to train clients again until July

If I had to point at one single thing that is nagging at me and causing me to stress and worry, it would be how a family member who was already having a difficult time emotionally is handling the death of a one-time friend that he had felt the need to distance himself from. He has been so depressed that I made the suggestion that he might consider seeing a grief counselor to which he replied that he was angry at the man who passed away...why should he seek counseling. Denial and unresolved feelings are not a good mix.

I used to be SO swamped with email every day, it took over my life and made me unable to get anything else done. Even now I'm dealing with the huge backlog in various to-do folders, that will take me years to get through. So I empathize completely!

I also understand that even if it's not spam, it can still be too much.

I'll start a separate thread - here you go! -

It is SO challenging when someone in your life is having problems. You want to help, but you can never "change someone else". So all you can do is try your best and then watch them suffer.

I've created a thread for you in the depression forum -

Maybe we can brainstorm a few ideas!

For me, I am dealing with being very behind in various areas of work. I have been pushing very hard for a certain important personal goal, and jumping over tons of obstacles to achieve it.

Well, I finally have the goal realized. I am thrilled! But I am also realizing how many other things in life I had to push aside and now deal with.

Intellectually I know I should kick back and relax a bit. But realistically I have backed up client work that needs to be handled.

My big stress this week is the huge volume of schoolwork we have. For some reason, we have 2 weeks worth of reading and assignments this week (and 2 quizzes) and a week with no homework at the end of July. The only thing I can think of is that it gets people to drop the class if they aren't committed.

I'm doing online course on flash banner design. As I was sick for a month I'm way behind.More over there is a lot of topic to write about and I can't decide which one to write about.

This week, I stress over my banking account being in the negative. I try to keep a very close eye on it, but it is a shared account, and sometimes things get over looked. I have a memory problem from an accident I had many years ago, and so sometimes this happens. Now I have to find a way to make up for monies lost.

It sounds like several people are stressed about being behind on tasks - I'll start a new thread on that!

BecauseICare - it is SO common for people to run out of money in this economy. I feel for you. I've been pushing my boyfriend hard to get me new origami orders to make sure I have that money coming in (I fold origami to make extra money). Go by the SO/HO forum - it's in the career area - and ask for ideas to make money. People will chime in with different ideas for you!
