Meditation might help or having a talk with the lazy spouse about doing their share of the work would be a great help also. I was never good with dealing with stress on my own and had to be put on medication but couldn't help but try to respond. I wish you the best of luck, hopefully someone else will be more helpful!!

Thanks

Junie, the three biggest stressors in life are 1.) Moving to new home, 2.) death and 3.) new job. Any job whether you have the skillset for or not is stressful. New procedures, new co-workers. If you are working in a position that involves a new skill set then you need to give yourself a chance. You need to learn the position and within no time you'll see that the work environment isn't stressful at all in fact, you enjoy the position. That's if the career change is really what you wanted. For the home life, I think the stress of the new job is causing more of a concern where your tolerance is a bit less. I think you'll find if you just set some time aside for the house work and get certain goals done, you'll feel better also. Try writing out a list of things to do. Go after the ones that you know you have energy for then tackle the ones that aren't so pleasing. You may have to force yourself but once done, it will make you feel better; more in control.

Well I moved for this job and my great uncle just passed away. I'm three for three.

I appreciate the advice though. Thank you

I started a new job in December and have found that taking a minute, maybe in a back room or even the restroom, closing my eyes and 5 or 6 deep breathes really helps me kinda reset. It not meditation so to speak but it helps to gathers myself.
