You said it perfectly. I get the same feelings. I am just so overwhelmed. Even bythe small things in life. Things that I used to do with no problems at all, are now too much, at times. Ahemmmmm
Sometimes, I just go outside and sit on the swing and stare at the sunset with a cup of tea. (Oh god, I'm sounding like an old lady.. lol)It's a way for me to unwind. I say wahtever works! But I feel ya! Even doing the darn laundry or talking out the trash. ~yuk~
I guess I just feel burned out to some extent and this world just keeps on going, like a mad train wreck.
My cell phone blows up, my home phone ringing with telemarketer's... Oye Vay!
Bluediamond, lets go find a secluded beach in Mexico somewhere and sip Margarita's as we watch the tide come in. ;)
Hang in there girl!

Hey, I understand how you feel. I feel that way somedays too. I just try to make the best of what I can control. There are so many things in this world that we can not control though. You are in my prayers. Best wishes always :)

Thank you guys for the replies, It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one that feels like this and Irelandangel I am all for finding the secluded beach..and a margarita sounds good about now..lol

You are not alone. I have a lot of fears too, but try to take one day at a time.
Sometimes i get so scared that since i am an only child my parents won't be there no more and i will be left in this country completely alone. I am sorry you are going through this. We are all with you, you are not the only one in pain.

You are definitely not alone! I can't watch the news at night because it upsets me too much. There are some days when just doing the laundry or washing the dishes feels so overwhelming and everything makes me feel tired and burned out. I'm often paranoid that I'm forgetting to do something important. I'm also a perfectionist and have a tendency to get upset if things aren't in perfect order, yet I also get so anxious sometimes that I can't focus on anything at all or get anything done, and that only make me feel more overwhelmed! And yes, I hate it too when people make a big deal and fight over petty things. The older I get the more it bothers me. We have enough negativity in the world as it is and I don't think we should be contributing to it by spending our energy being angry or upset over little things. Yes, there are certainly days when all the troubles of the world get to me big time, and it can feel so sad and scary, but we have to learn to take very good care of ourselves if we want to help anybody or make the world a better place.

i def feel the same way. when ever i feel threatened or stressed out the first thing i want to do is run away where no one can find me and just be alone. but a cigarette and a pinacolada may do the same thing if there isn't to many ppl around lol. but it is good to have a breather on your own that way you can get your thoughts straight.
