Hi all, Did you face this kind of a situation where everything that could possibly go wrong went wrng all in 1 day?! There is a fight going on between hus and I, my kid is sick, my co-workers are teasing me coz I volunteered to take up a task at office!, my friends complained for something, with everything I feel like crying. I just want to go home, sit and cry. How do you keep up with such stressful days.
By watching comedy movies, youtube comedy clips or listening to music. But my preference is watching movies..
by coming to IL and venting out . Relax, look at the positive side, you have a job, husband albeit fighting, a kid who will get well soon and friends.. Tackle one thing at a time, IGNORE the teasing, it's not going to get them or you anywhere. Focus on the sick kid right now, husbands could be handled later. If possible, try to take a walk for 10 minutes, will clear your mind.
It is stress only if you see it as stress and you try to get rid of it using you intelligence - it never works and that is additional stress. At such times I see myself a fool who doesn't know anything - who can't differentiate pain & pleasure. Wow it works well - when I accept I am a fool - that's bliss - I enjoy that moment & then it is fun - a hand grenade is hurled at me - I just push it aside & walk like the Super Star Rajini. Now that I have to a certain extent conditioned my mind - I don't get stressed - but I long for stress because I enjoy calling myself a fool & walking like the Super Star.
Dear Vij99, I have been to this situation many times.Infact,add up 2 kids there.But again,i also used to be so stressed out.But slowly started realizing that its taking my happiness away.This is what I do in these cases: 1)If possible take a day off from work. 2)Ignore DH and dont cook for that day and order food from outside.If he keeps bothering you,give him a hug(even its his mistake,u can deal better when you are in a calm and happy mood) and tell him that u have much other imp thing to take care of kid than to argue with DH and you know that you both would reconcile later anyway,as you love each other 3)Stop talking to all those friends and all,eat well,stay with the kid.Because he needs you to the most and pamper yourself a little with TV or whatever. 4)Finally keep telling your self this "Whether its good or bad,things will change" These things will get me some happiness.If i am happy,then i can make others happy.Crying is good way to vent out,but it never showed me any solution,so why to cry,instead try to ignore all.Keep practicing it and i am sure you will see a difference. Thanks.
Fight with H - Ignore that day will be alright soon Sick Kid - Pay attention immediately Co-workers & Work - Take off that day so that you can take care of your kid which is priority meanwhile you forget your office worries Friends complain - Leave it there without kindling it While you kid is recovering ..you relax by doing the thing which makes you happy the most. It could be a simple phone call and talking to your mom/loved ones when venting you will be relieved completely.
