Everyday stress too much for me to handle

So so anxious today. Am I bipolar or what? I can be totally fine and in control one day and gasping for breaths the next....life totally gets to me. I dont know how some people deal with the most stressful situations with grace and not even sweat it.

So in laws coming to visot this weekend.
Daughter's birthday in 2 weeks and I haven't planned it yet.
Think I might be pregnant. (Not late yet but sore breasts and insatiable hunger..not ready for #2.
Teeth grinding and clenching. Think I chipped another tooth last night. (Had a crown placed 2 weeks ago).
Trying to take my own advice and breathe etc....just venting I guess..

Hey, I TOTALLY relate. The birth certificate office has been IMPOSSIBLE having made an error on my baby's certificate by omitting my husband's (his father's) name and then not fixing it and the other day I was trying to figure out how to fill out this ridiculous form, make copies, get an affidavit signed in front of a witness at a bank all so that we can have a birth certificate that lists my husband's name as the father (because you know, he was only at every doctor's appt and there at the hospital the WHOLE TIME and nobody seems to think this is evidence enough, lol) and anyway, it's just something in life that happened but somehow I couldn't handle it, got hysterical, and had to take a clonazepam to deal with it, and I just felt so ashamed, like goodness, in the scheme of life this is so INSIGNIFICANT, why can't I just take it in stride? :-) Just wanted to let you know I totally relate and I also look at the grace with which people handle things and am amazed. Remember to look at the little successes though. When I started getting hysterical about the birth certificate, my husband immediately caught me and within minutes I had acknowledged it was too much for me to handle and was taking a pill on my way to handling the situation better. So, small victories. :-) p.s. did you end up being pregnant again?? If so, best wishes for healthy, safe, and happy pregnancy.

When you jumble everything together, it feels like a mess. Take out one part, do something to make it move forward, then move on to the next.

Sometimes, just making it calm is enough to give you the strength to keep moving. Movement helps naturally reduce the anxiety levels.

Best wishes. You are not alone in this.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
