Stress is making me a bit depressed

**kygirl** · 03-24-2010 07:43 AM

I have about 5 weeks left of school but it's getting to the really really stressful time when I have work and school and finals and on top of that, with the beau having tax season, the last couple of weeks are starting to weigh on me.

We're both a bit on edge, and I don't get to see him as much as I would like right now (and I won't for about another 5 weeks as well), and it just makes me want to curl up and sleep and not do anything...

Or course it doesn't help that I am also PMSing this week, and EXTREMELY emotional. I don't normally get that way, but I guess it's just everything deciding to hit at the same time... Any suggestions on natural remedies??

I have to be careful because I am on birth control, but I am willing to try anything but prescription drugs right now. I have an appt next week with my therapist, but it'll be my last one probably before she moves

Just remember, every day is another day closer to it being over.

Unfortunately, this your (and his) life right now. There isn't much either of you can do except make the most of the time you do have together.

ha ha... yeah, not much wine can't fix lol

Yeah I know you're right. I've been okay most of the semester but now that his stress is kicking in and so is mine, it's really going to be very little "we" time the next few weeks. That kind bums me out. I know I can't change it without us both just dropping the ball which I don't want, I just feel like this is going to be the longest month ever.

*sigh*.......you sound like me.........DURING PMS time. Then PMS comes and goes and I think "Why was I so bent out of shape over that?" ....ahhh the beauty of hormones.

I know you mentioned your period being a bit severe this month, possibly a correlation with the emotional feelings? Could just be an extra rough one for you this month. I know the whole laying on the couch not wanting to do anything, well, that's exactly how I get sometimes and I truly think that's PMS rearing it's ugly head. But it shall pass, you've made it this far and no doubt you're a tough gal.

Like I've said before, try not to be sad about not seeing him. You both are busy working toward goals in life and having him in your life and enjoying him, knowing he's thinking of you when he can't see you, vice versa........well that's more important any day than spending lots of time together. So just remember that when you DO see him, it will be awesome, and smile!!! Don't be sad for what you can't change. Be happy though for what you have, and enjoy what time you do have.

BD-
I totally think that hasn't helped at all

A TON of it, is everything all just hitting at the same time. I know it is. It's kinda one of those things where everything singularly wouldn't cause an uproar, but when you put 5 things together suddenly it's overwhelming. I'm sure in about 3-4 days after the hormones have died down and I've gotten to see him, it'll at least seem a little brighter

They say everything comes in threes

Imagine if you had one huge hurdle to jump, jumped it, to only find another and another, man I'd be a wreck

Having all of them at once is alot of stress but hey, when it's over, it's all over at the same time

HAVE A GLASS OF WINE!! Yay Pretz.. good advice, it works lol's.., you just get tired and fall asleep which gives you more sleep but only have one, or else you'll wake up lots and well that defeats the purpose

Get as much sleep as you can mam.. It will help you through it all.
