Stress

[Mayflower1]

Just a lot of stress lately. Working three jobs, but am quitting one soon. Just in the middle of job change. But I tend to struggle with SI urges when I get stressed and exhausted, so pray that I keep with my coping skills and such. I haven't cut in quite awhile. I go to Celebrate Recovery and such.

everything else has been going well though. I've been on a different site for a long time that was sort of my "home site" but I'm thinking of changing back to CF. Not that I won't visit there, but its been slow and stories left unfinished. (rpgs da bomb diggity ) sooo hopefully CF hasn't changed too much because I have met some great people on here.

God Bless, Shara

"The Cross means to me", that Jesus endures more pain and suffering than any mortal whilst they suffer. It means that he endured these pains sot hat you would have the opportunity to live, even if you were not worthy, because he loves you, and so, despite the condition of the world today he suffers to bring new life into the world.

just to answer your lil moto under your name...

I hope you enjoy being back.

the angel in your signature has your haircut.

hahaha XD right!!!! It was long, but I cut it again recently. and someone walked up to me in an HEB a few years ago and asked me that question. all I could say at the moment, was life, love, and freedom through Jesus Christ, and the answer hasn't changed much since then. except I feel more joy everyday as I learn to rely on Him more. I tend to worry a lot and be frantic in making decisions, but God has done a lot in my life that I am grateful for. It is nice to be back on CF. I have been a member for 5 years!!! Been here off and on. welcome to CF.

Hi Shara, It's nice to see you again. I'm sorry you are feeling so stressed. I can relate. It is a good idea that you have to cut down on work, too much can cause a lot of stress. Have you ever tried relaxation meditation? It can be very helpful. You can look it up on the net or buy a cd from maybe Amazon. Just 20 minutes a day can cut down your stress a lot and you can learn to automatically relax with practice. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas! I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless you.

Nice to see you Ruth. Merry Christmas. been a long time. Yes, I have tried that. and I do pmr. I'll be fine. I hardly have urges or anything anymore. God has brought a lot of good people in my life who have helped me a lot to overcome. I just am working 72 hours a week the past couple weeks. So this is my last week at one of my jobs, so I will feel better afterwards. I take on the world.

Those are good answers. Your a very smart girl. You have a beautiful soul.

Stress often has several underlying issues driving it. They need to be identified and worked through one by one. Simplistic 'religious' solutions often miss these underlying contributors.

Underlying issues were the cause for much my life. I'm not perfect but worked through a lot of that. But I'M also know myself and when I take on too much I start to break and have to find ways to cope.
