Off Topic STRESS

[Amy-0]

Been a rough week or so for me. Things at work,son getting married,planning the trip to Blade.
I been catching myself siting overthinking every little thing. Taking little worries in my head and making up worst case scenarios to just thinking up stuff to worry about. Is this just me or does anyone else do this from time to time?

I have Stress all of the time. What you need to do is just focus on one small detail every night. Its a simple thing but it has helped me DEAL with ALOT in the last ten years of my life. I like putting post it notes up on my home computer and rip them off once I have completed each task. Sometimes they say take a breath and be calm, did you do a nice thing today ?(I sound super weird) but they help.
1. The wedding will happen and it will be perfect and it is a crazy stressful time (Weddings usually are) but when you think about it all, that really matters is that your son and future daughter in law say I do and get married.
2. Blade show will be okay. I am just excited that I can see you and give you a BIG HUG on Saturday.
3. The Job thing? I really LOVE my job at Busse and was away for many years but I missed it so much, had all the stressful things to deal with my crazy LIFE. Cancer, Coma's and a whole lot of stuff that basically was SCARY with my family LIFE. But it all worked out because I am back HOME at Busse.

Just take everyday ONE day at a time. ALL WILL BE FINE.
XOXO
Amy

Thanks.
Right now all is mostly work stuff. There has been big changes there in the last 8 months. I am an Animal Control Officer. The changes have been mostly good for the shelter and the animals but the Animal Control side of it has been a stress fess for me. That has gotten even more complicated over the past couple months.
The wedding went great. I think what was stressing me most there was the feeling of the empty nest being permanent now.
As far as Blade goes its a knifeshow. I look forward to it for months and always get a little antsy as it gets near.

I'm a textbook introvert but with a big personality when I need to turn it on for crowds or work. A bi-product of that is extreme over thinking and stress. I can relate, buddy. Us over thinkers are usually pretty dang smart though. We just have to remind ourselves that "the perfect is the enemy of the great," meaning sometimes we have to quit thinking so much and just do it.
