What stresses you out?
Obviously, it isn't the kids!! Just curious if I'm the only stressed out non-mother!

Re: What stresses you out?
Right now I am stressed that my dog is sick. He isn't himself, I can't exactly put my finger on it, he's eating, drinking, but kind of lethargic, not his usual self.
I know you aren't supposed to have favorites, but we have a very close bond and I am taking him to the vet b/c I am paranoid.
So I was up last night about that.
i know, probably not what you were looking for.

Re: What stresses you out?
Work. DH (sometimes, not usually  ). Everything in the house seeming to break all at once! Needing/wanting more money than we both make. The healthcare needs of my pets. My own health issues. Dealing with difficult relatives. That sort of thing...

Work
Some of my friends who have turned into total a-holes and liars lately- that hurts and stresses me out a lot lately
Being so disorganized that I don't think I can ever crawl out from it- there aren't enough hours in the day to get my house cleaned up and organzied etc.

Re: What stresses you out?
Definitely work. I now have double the workload, but I had to take a paycut. So did my DH, so paying bills is another major stress.

Re: What stresses you out?
Mainly my job....i've been here 5 years and NEED a change before I snap ! It's also so slow I could be let go any day now. I'm so stressed I won't find anything better with the same pay, especially in this market 
Which ultimately leads to stress about money....which i stress about WAY too much.

Re: What stresses you out?
work sometimes.. but its not TOO bad. ( i work at a school so its a nice schedule time-wise, but i WORK while i'm there!)
AND having the in-laws visiting they were here this weekend, and i'm trying to unwind from it! MIL doesn't work, and FIL has a VERY open work schedule, so they feel "bad" for DH and i that we actually have to go to work everyday. They come and want to help us with everything.. its like "we haven't seen you for awhile, lets just hang out and do something fun- not yardwork!! We live in their old house, so they just make themselves TOO comfortable sometimes. like yesterday, we were going out to dinner. Before we left, DH threw in a load of his laundry. when we got home, MIL went down there to use the bathroom, and came back up and said "oh- i put your stuff in the dryer for you". Helpful, yes... but why couldn't she just say "oh- didn't you have laundry to put in the dryer?" its the little things that drive me nuts!

I am going through the exact same situation right now! I haven't had a full day's work in at least a month, if not longer. I'm so stressed out that I haven't been sleeping that well lately.

Re: What stresses you out?
When I get stressed, I organize and plan. It helps me relax about things if I put them in order.
Work hasn't been that bad, but we are using money for home improvements lately. Furniture, a new patio, and some large landscaping jobs. We've been setting aside money for this purpose but I just don't like seeing that bank account get smaller.
My family and how I always feel taken advantage of. I had a lengthy conversation with my BIL a few weeks ago about one of the kid's computers that was acting up. I had it fixed in a jiffy for them, barely got a thank-you but my nephew got his computer back which is what mattered to me.
But when I need to know about pending plans for this weekend, I am rushed off the phone and promised a phone call later that never comes.

Re: What stresses you out?
My job (which I hate anyway so I don't know why I care) is the biggest stressor in my life at the moment.

Re: What stresses you out?
Ugh WORK. Someone told my boss that I lied when i told her i had done a task - when I DID do it, and she damn well knows it!  I messed it up a little, but I actually DID do it. I'm new and still learning and she decided not to double check me. Just learning na entire new field and way to do everything is so so stressful.
Lack of money and exhaustion aswell lol

I could have written this word for word a few months ago!!! Seriously, get those TOXIC "friends" OUT of your life!!!! It was hard for me to do, but I feel SO much better!!
And I'm still working on getting better organized. Work is stressful because I know how bad our industry is doing and I'm afraid I'll lose my job.
And add the stress of a number of sick loved ones... well, there's a lot to be stressed about.

Re: What stresses you out?
My House - It's taking so long to put together, it seems we take one step forward and three steps BACK.
Money- See above !
My Commute- Went from 15 min to 1 1/2 hrs and after 6 months im still hating it. Its just so draining and is starting to take a toll.
TTC - Deciding when.

Oh I feel ya on that one! When my kitty was sick I was literally SICK over it.
I couldn't eat, I was dry heaving, shaking- I never came so close to needing a valium or a Xanex or something in my LIFE!
Hugs for you and your kitty! Hope all turns out well!
