Raising my little daughter. I love her but that doesn't change the fact it's very stressful at times. And bring me lots of happiness and tenderness too

Always freakin' money. I am jealous of my peers. They don't live in the real world. Maybe it's me that is the issue.

@Stereoguy Well, I do work evenings and weekends even now, just not every single one! :-)

Single mom stuff. I get overwhelmed very easily carrying it all on my shoulders. Throw in 2 teens...one in college...2 jobs..3 dogs and a patriarch in a pear tree.
@Sunnykel76 bless you. How about some "me time" for yourself?
Sunnykel76 · 46-50, F
@VeronicaJane I try to squeeze that in too :)
@Sunnykel76 very important to do so.

Other than buying a 12 unit apartment house, having to evict a tenant from another apartment, taking over the business I work for, my friend AND my dog passing away...I have no stress. Oh, add that my partner and I are expecting twins and there are changes on the horizon in a very close relationship.

I know you’ve been through a lot lately, and I am so sorry for your recent losses. Everything will happen as it should, in it’s due time. @Newfound

My wife’s emotional volatility. She is such a loving person but struggles with depression and rage. My home life is very challenging when she’s struggling.

@Harmonium1923 My heart goes out to you, hon.
@Harmonium1923 So sorry, my friend. 😞

Being responsible for two women: a 97 year old and a 90 year old. Every day brings a new form of frustration.
exexec · 61-69, C
@Thelonewolf1993 They're my mom and her sister. Fortunately, my wife helps.

@exexec That sounds tiring. My father in law, age 92, was with us for a month and that was too much. I feel for you. So many people are care givers. It is hard.
@exexec How well I relate with what you are saying. In 2016, then 2017 I lost Father and Mother in Law (respectively). After caring for my own wife for the last 25 years, it ended up in me caring for her Mother and Father also; I ran myself ragged, never complained and simply got on with it because someone had to do it. When they had both passed, after getting over the grief I thought it was time I took in a deep breath and begin to think more about myself; after all, I had so much 'free time' now, never on call day or night and only my wife to think about.

In effect, it was nothing, and still is nothing, like that. I have so much free time and, seemingly, not much to do with it. I feel lost, I feel somewhat disconnected from myself. I feel sensitive in ways I have never experienced, I feel anxious and tired with no reason I can give to explain why I do. Ah well ...

I really do feel for you and I know your life is hard. Take good care of yourself (in all that you will have to do) and give yourself breathing space and time to reflect; something I most certainly should have done and yet had no real idea how failing to do this put me in a place I could never have thought I might ever be.

The feeling that I am never doing enough.
Thelonewolf1993 · 26-30, M
@SW-User I know the feeling well
SW-User
@Thelonewolf1993 It is a hard one to overcome. I am trying. What about you? Have you found any ways to make it easier?

trying to work through my trauma on my own because I'm too poor and stubborn to go to therapy.
I think if I said 'Stress itself' I don't think I'd be too far short of the line ;)

@questionWeaver yes, my greatest stressors are all connected to your gender 🤷‍♀️....son, poor-performing employee and love interest. Sorry.
@abooklover hmmmm ... looks like us guys have some catching up to do
abooklover · 56-60, F
😉 the ones in my world could step up a little.
Retirement, ironically. I feel so useless. I do volunteer work, but it’s not like earning one’s own money. I want to go back to work.
