Do you think that it's better to move foward with your life and take on more potential stressors (but you're still moving foward) than to sit still and just wait around for stability?

Or do you think that it's better to handle the stressors you've got and become stable before taking on more and moving foward?

i think you should move forward and get used to everything and learn how to deal with it. i don't think we should spend a long time trying to get stable because we could miss out on a lot of things.

A combo of dealing with stressors you have now while going forward

Life will give you stressors no matter what.I make stressor juice out of it with a hint of lemon.

I think a little of both. I don't think you should bite off more than you can chew if you know its going to break you.
I for instance would last about a week at a full time job, so why do it.
But i have however tried taking multiple college classes, and failed.
But at least that failure didn't set me back, getting a full time job and loosing in a week would set me back emotionally, and compromise my ssdi.

I think you get stable first.

It just depends sometimes sweetie, tough call. For me, if I dont move, I dont grow....sometimes finding my stability IS in the moving not the waiting. Sometimes I am not stable because I stagnate or stay in a state of confusion with my current situation........Moving forward is for me, but again, it depends on the situation. Hugs

Wow Oz...TMI!!! TMI!!! hahaha.

I'm going to move foward and take things as they come...I was just curious what everyone else though.

deleted_user 07/09/2009

I think we all do both. There are times in which the best I can do is just let the world pass me by, then there times in which I am 007.

Some fuckwit was quoted as saying there is no such thing as standing still, you either go backwards or forwards.
