What do you do with stress and LDR!
Yesterday I was supposed to finish one of my last teaching session before sitting my final test and it has now come to light i need some more teaching sessions. Which makes me stressed about finding the money and passing the test. finding the money to move to canada and convert my pilot's licence there. there is the stress factor that my SO and I are not seeing each other in april as planned because of my flying. all this stress has caused me to break out in shingles ( my body's reaction to extreme stress).
I have just got off skype with my SO and he is about to sit term finals for med school term 1 and is stressed about that, and is stressed about the fact that he is not seeing me in april. (we both find that being around each other is just relaxing and stress relieving, let alone the stress relief that comes with being physical together). All this extreme stress has caused him major digestive problems (his body's reaction to extreme stress).
so right now I just wish i could be there with him. or at least be seeing him like i was supposed to later this month. if only to make him feel better.
i hate all this stress and i hate not being able to do anything about it!

"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its struggles, it empties today of its strength."
Definitely take one step at a time. There's always going to be things in life to stress and worry over...but it really accomplishes nothing in the end.
I find exercising and playing music the best stress relievers around.
