I AM SO STRESSED

I AM SO STRESSED OUT RIGHT NOW I CANNOT TELL YOU. I know other people probably have a lot more to be stressed over. HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT???? Loads of purrs from us, Karen. I hope things start looking up for you soon! Your poor nerves. Unfortunately, I have no great cures for relieving stress but I like Marina's Finnish word. I was under a lot of stress last fall re my mom's issues and I found that taking a homeopathic remedy called Calms Forte (by Hyland) in the health store that seemed to help take the edge off my tendency to panic without any side effects; it's along the same idea as Rescue Remedy and I heard about the Calms Forte like I did the Rescue Remedy -- from a cat rescue person. I also talked to my friends as well as a counselor. I also tried to take a break from as many obligations/outside extracurricular activities as I was able to. And I tried to do little things for myself like take lavender bubble baths. Hope this helps. I second a lavender bath. But I suggest using lavender essential oil in your bath rather than a bubble bath. A few drops of the lavender e.o. on my pillow case also helped me sleep. Another essesntail oil I found helpful intimes of stress is neroli. I just sniffed on it and it relaxed me. A few I used a neroli a lot when I lost my job and my father within 2 weeks. I was a basketcase and woke up crying in the middle of the night. Also I remember you mentioned massage helped with your pain. So go for a relaxing massage. Purrs for you and Sugar.

That does seem like a lot of stuff to have to deal with. I have no good advice to give. When I get stressed, I break out in psoriasis and begin compulsively picking at my skin. Not a good way to deal! I hope things settle down for you soon and you get good news from your CT scan and I hope the baytril does the job for Sugar. Hugs and purrs, -- Britta |

on the couch and not under the bed. I AM SO STRESSED OUT RIGHT NOW I CANNOT TELL YOU. I know other people probably have a lot more to be stressed over. HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT???? Purrs for you and for Sugar to feel better. I am constantly stressed, so I'm probably not a good one to give advice, but here are some things that at least temporarily destress me: A long, hot bath Going to bed early and getting more sleep -- if you're stressed, you probably need more sleep than you normally do Spending some time in the sun, not doing anything, just "playing flower" and tipping your face up toward the sun and absorbing all that energy (eyes closed, of course) If you can afford it, getting a professional massage. There are also neat versions with hot rocks. Give yourself a break. If you're anything like me, you're stressing over silly stuff sometimes, like having dishes in the sink, or laundry undone, or feeling guilty because you didn't have time to cook a real meal, or eat enough veggies, etc. Try to recognize when you're having these thoughts and let them go. You're exceptionally busy and stressed right now, and you have the right to let some little things slip so that you can focus on the big things. Stress will make you sick. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Or splurge on some "real" hot chocolate, the kind with the shaved chocolate instead of just powder, and mix the hot beverage and chocolate sensations! I agree that the chocolate part is key, in whatever form. It actually does have chemicals that will make you feel good. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT???? If you have time, sit down for half an hour and listen to your favourite music. Go out somewhere to watch birds or wildlife for several hours with binoculars. Go out for a half hour walk daily and study all the houses and gardens as you go to get ideas for your own. Failing all that, Prozac is your friend. Tweed |
