I Wish I Could Blame Everything That Woes Wrong On The Recession...

Things keep getting worse and worse for me right now... My health is declining because of stress, I'm bunking off school because of stress, I've lost two jobs this year already, my ex is calling me late at night crying about how much he misses me, and the one guy that I want to be with chose his ex over me. I don't want to wake up in the mornings, I keep forgetting to take my medication and I've not wanted to hurt myself as much as I do now.

Why does everything have to get so complicated all at once? >_O

I could deal with this shit if it was just one problem at the time, I'm used to it. But now I'm a bit overwhelmed!
And not only do I have to worry about my own personal life, but being everybody's go-to girl, I have to worry about everyone else as well...

Help? Anybody?? >_
 
Tell your ex you've got no interest getting back with him. Since he's keeping you up at night, I wouldn't worry about being nice about it. If that doesn't work, set his ringtone to silent and block him from your home phone.

If you're getting stressed out enough that it's harming you physically, you might want develop your "fuck it" instincts a bit more. Prioritizing your problems helps too. Don't worry about the smaller problems until the big ones are out of the way.
 
I may JUST be back, but did the whole literacy clause go to hell while I was gone? Anyways, just take life one step at a time. Look at every step and just take it, don't take in the "big picture". It will just be a bitch too handle. Oh, and I'm a stern believer in the idea that life pays off in its own ways for overcoming these stupid little challenges that pop up in life. Just keep fighting.
 
"I could deal with this shit if it was just one problem at the time,"

You've kinda answered your own question with that statement. Deal with it one problem at a time. Make a list, with the biggest problem 1st, tackle that sucker, then move on to the next.
 
Fuck school, become a prostitute, invite your ex-the guy you like-and his ex to an orgy, and just take this month meds at once (they don't lose effect if taken at once right? Just makes them stronger)

There, in 15 seconds I have solved all of your problems. Am I amazing or what?
 
Let's address your problems in the order of easiest to solve, to the most difficult.



The ex is an easy fix: Just don't answer your phone. Obviously you're getting something out of his pining, or you would simply not put up with it.

Move on. Yeah, it sucks that he chose his ex over you, but look at it this way: You did everything you could reasonably do. You played your hand, you told him how you feel, you lost. There's no shame in that, and you should realize this.

Simply don't "bunk off" school. You won't be doing yourself any favors by flunking out.

The job thing blows, but just keep looking. The more enthusiasm that you tackle the job hunt with, the more likely you will be to succeed in finding a place that will keep you.

By addressing the first idiot ex, I assume you'll be able to sleep a little better, making it easier to get up. Unless something like child safety is preventing you from keeping your meds by your bedside table, you should. Just put them next to your alarm and take them every morning.

I hope that by addressing your problems one by one to the best of your ability, that the desire to harm yourself will subside.



Such seems to be the way of life. I think it might have something to do with the fact that the more stressed we are, the more the little things bother us.



It is unreasonable to expect yourself to solve all of these problems at once. Just address them one by one to the best of your ability. Anything less would be selling yourself short.



It's alright to be selfish once in a while. Just tell your friends that right now, you're dealing with alot of stress, and that you may be unable to put up with their problems as well as your own. They might get mad at you for it. They might stop being your friend. But, if they do that, they weren't worth keeping as friends in the first place.
