Overwhelmed

It's been awhile since I've been on here. Thought I was doing fine for a bit till school started again 


a lot of things has been brought up; theater, grades, clubs, attendance 


it's all crashing down on me. And I wanna take it slow but while I'm doing one thing, the other impatiently waiting 


I don't know what to do I want to satisfy everyone. Make everyone happy, show them I can do it all, but I can barely do one thing

One thing is better than none. One brick at a time builds the house no bricks builds nothing. Silly simple saying but true. You'll get faster.
Also if you want to satisfy everyone... Well then 'everyone' would include you... So start there

Welcome back, Hope. Glad you remembered that we are available to offer support for balancing the anxiety of those stress loads. When I am caught up in my high stress periods, Juggling diverse stresses gets confusing. . .

Hope you'll feel safe to keep venting here. It helps sort the chaff from the grain.

Welcome back.

Welcome back.
First let me say, it is okay to feel overwhelmed. The many things that go on in one's life can feel intimidating. I know when I start worrying about everything that I have going on, all the time my anxiety starts acting up more. It is only more recently that I am starting to piece together when my anxiety and imagination runs a little wilder.

I was reading an article and I found a mantra that I am trying to adapt for myself and my family. “Done is better than perfect.”

I understand your stress, but hon, you can never please everyone. Pick and choose what makes you happiest and prioritize your demands and events...prioritize who is most important for you to please, then the rest, tell them today is not their day, get in line. =) You got this dear, it will be ok. Remember to take care of your self, first. Take your vitamins, a good quality one, it will have good B vitamins for energy and concentration and magnesium which will calm your mind body and spirit and help you sleep well. Best to you! <3

Focus on you and the one thing you can do to make you happy. Is there something you excel in there more than the other?

    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!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
