Overall, How Stressful Is Your Life?

Contributor: evie.amor evie.amor
For the past year (or 2) my life has been pretty consistently stressful. I'm handling it better than I did 2 years ago but sometimes its hard. Just feels like my guy and I are taking hits in the major aspects of our life. But, things always turn around so I'm doing my best to keep my chin up!

Other, usually a four or five...but some days when there's not a lot of arguing going on it can get to a three or so.
And on the rare day when my mother and I go out shopping (grocery shopping, mind you) together and get away from her jackass of a boyfriend, it's more like a one or a two. =)

@KyotoAngel, I think you have identified the problem & it carries a Y chromosome!

Seriously, I'm saddened to hear so many people have such high levels of stress. I hope you all find some relief in coming to the site & certainly some relief through sex! I don't know what else I can say...

I suppose, I am as new to this as you. I don't know how many times I've looked back at one of my posts and wondered why did I, or why didn't I do that. What I now try doing is use the word processor for assembling my thought's prior to submitting. This allows me a cushion of time for mistakes and changes. But, they still occur none the less.

Your doing a geat job. I wish you all the best with your Eden posts.

I had a really stressful job, lost it and got a similar job, which pays way, way less but with much less stress and I get to work from home. I had no idea how much stress was negatively affecting my life until it was gone.

I was recently offered a position that paid extremely well but turned it down because of the stress level involved with it.

This week....lots and lots of stress! I work full time, and it's dead week at school. Dead week to my professors means everyone assigns an essay and presentation. Six essays, five presentations, and dealing with the rest of my life! Plus, I am a perfectionist...I like A's. So it makes it worse. All on top of the fact I am graduating!!!! Ahhh! Oh well, two weeks and I will be free for five months before grad school...then the stress level decreases!

I juggle many things. It gets stressful keeping all the balls in the air. But I much prefer being stressed to being bored.

I would say my current situation has stress at a 4 on this scale. Working on ways to try to dial it back.

I vary between 3 and 4 on some days. My academic standing isn't too stellar, and the fear of getting kicked out sometimes overwhelms me. But the thought of participating on orgs. and helping out really brightens my day.

Overall I don't have too much stress and deal with it pretty well.

Thank you!

I try to live focused on the present & not think about the things that cause me stress. I have a fair amount of stress, some such as health problems are constant, but I think I deal well with it, even if it is by not dwelling on it.

I try to avoid overly stressful situations in life. I keep it minimal, but it creeps in sometimes.
