"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (2 Corinthians 12.9)Praying for supernatural strength, and special blessings upon you. That you would find relief.
@NurseAbigail Hope you can get through the stress; the fact that you enjoy your job is good, right?
Have you been a nurse for long?
Well, you must have gotten used to it by now, and figured the pay, your bills and promotion prospects, right?It's been 2 yrs...and yes i enjoy my job
Well, you must have gotten used to it by now, and figured the pay, your bills and promotion prospects, right?
Well, you're doing it for them, which is really commendable, right?Yeah, i'm just really anxious about my parents, mostly. I feel like stuck. Like a bird in a cage, just working to pay all the bills.
Well, you're doing it for them, which is really commendable, right?
But also occasionally, you must feel you want to do something for yourself right? that may cost a bit but will be something really personal.
Kind of, break out of the cage a bit...
I think you also intend a Christian fish <>< for the nape, right?Yeah, I'm a simple girl, seeing others happy is enough for me and I just long for companionship other than that, I don't really ask for much. (But you just gave me an idea for a tattoo! Lol like maybe a cage with a bird flying out).
I think you also intend a Christian fish <>< for the nape, right?
Maybe the cage and flying bird at another placement?
It would probably be sensible just to get a non-committal quote from a parlor near you, so you can budget for it in the long term; and it might in fact cost less than you think, if it's small.
Yes, a lot of nurses that you are with probably have them on the wrist area, right?Yeah maybe a tiny one in wrist or upper shoulder lol
Yes, a lot of nurses that you are with probably have them on the wrist area, right?
So did you ever non-committally visit a parlor, just to look around, and see a portfolio or two?
Would be useful to have some idea in the meantime about what either one of those options might cost you, right?No, havent yet, ill have it done if ill visit my brother in hawaii
@NurseAbigail Are there parlors near you?
Oh, you have a tight schedule, right?There are, but too busy to think about it for now
PS: Yes, you want something permanent to show for it, right? that expresses you and your faith.Yeah, i'm just really anxious about my parents, mostly. I feel like stuck. Like a bird in a cage, just working to pay all the bills.
This is sensible, yes.Some practical advice I learned from my therapist is deep breathing. Be conscious about breathing in deeply through your nose, and then slowly letting it out through your mouth. I've found that after about a half dozen or so of these exercises my anxiety has been reduced.
It's essential to make the Word the guide, right?Praying in agreement , for all here that are under the pressure of this fallen world.
I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety at work, mostly the day before work, it is like my body dreadfully anticipates the high stress approaching. Anyone experience something similar? What do you do to cope? Any practical advice?
