Reaching your breaking point

Hmm.. I'm curious for some details, LOL. Though I suppose it was bound to happen. Situations like that always tend to end badly, from my experience. Can't expect peace to last forever. I'm glad you have a back up plan. I don't think I've reached a breaking point yet.. but I can feel it coming. There's just too much going on right now, too much on my mind. I didn't realize how stressed out I was, but it hit me pretty hard recently and I really just want to not think anymore. The problem is, there's not much I can do to alleviate the stress, and that's pretty much the part that is stressing me out. And it's not really one thing, it's a bunch of little things adding up. Nothing really terrible of course. I think it's just something that I'll get used to in time.. or else I might hit a breaking point and make some really bad choices and mess a lot of things up.. but as long as I think clearly and rationally that won't happen.

This year has seriously been one of my horrible ones. I am so fed up of all the sh*t going around i just can't take it. I have reached my breaking point but all i do is cry and cry more. I don't know how to stop. I don't know how normal feels like anymore. This overwhelming year, i wish it would end soon and I hope no one ever has bad and confusing year like I did ever again, including me.

I know it's tough. I don't get too stressed but depressed. Which I have been alot lately and I don't know why. I think part of it is that for the first time in years I am very lonely. My daughters don't live around here and my son is so busy all the time as he works nights.....so as a result I do get a bit lonely.....not to mention I am not impressed about getting older....it really bites the big one! Hopefully you will find a solution....I wish you all the best at finding a way to releave your stress and get the situation behind you!

Oh lilybug, stressful times are hell to deal with. Sometimes we do not know which way to turn. I often write out a list of all my problems and see which ones I can solve and then leave the rest to God. I have been stressed for weeks and this morning my car just shut off at a stop light and when the light turned green all the cars were honking for me to move and I could't. But some young men came and pushed my car to the side of the road. Then I called my son to get a mechanic and my GF to take me to work. She was great and took me to the bank to get money to pay the staff etc. I had surgery whch cost about US$1500 and then the car to give problems Then what with the elections coming up just after Christmas it is all happening in my life. How do I deal with it? I often have a good cry and then set about doing my best and swallowing my awful ride and asking friends for help. I do hope that things get better for you and that you will find the answer to your problems my friend. Blessings

stress that it is every day in our lives. I can say that stress is something negative and horrible thing. because of our stress comes disease and prolbemi. I also recently got a lot of stress and know how to relax relax with friends and my children. when they get home from kindergarten, I enjoy their games, so relax and try to think positive that it will not stress. thank you very much for this discussion. nice day!

Hello there. I have not reached my breaking point yet. There are several ways I deal with stress. One way i do so is by listening to music. This have been one of the best solution I have ever found. It really does help. I'm sure this would help most people to de-stress. Another way, is to read a book. However this doesn't really work for all as some people just have no interests in any books.

Sometimes I think we just continue to go thru things and go thru things and it seems like there is no end. You just continue to stay strong, and try to not let it bother you until one day you just got to let go. With everything I have been going thru Medical wise, and many times Financially I have found myself in the same boat as well. It is hard, and after this I usually feel better, try to relax some, and Pray a little bit more believing God for something good to eventually come my way.

hi lilybug I am a diabetic and stress causes my blood sugar to go sky high so I have my magic invisible stress proof bubble around me and'stress just bounces off of it. my diabetes nurse educator taught me this in guided imagery and it does work as we all have stress but we can choose how we handle it and not let it stress us out at all. music is also very good too, specially soft classic music.

yes, last year.. for a couple of times after so how many years of keeping my life on the low. last year i kind of decided to try something new. i thought it would be just fine and just for fun. but it got complicated and things went out of control. i cried and cried most of the time but i keep it to myself. but there really are times that i cant, i feel like shouting, throwing everything nearby (which i really did hehehe).. that was soooo not me. it got me sad when i thought about it after how many months, when i got better. but now that im super better, i thought im thankful that it happened. never thought i can do it because i'm old enough to control things, balance my life..

Breaking points make me nervous. I wonder all the time what it is and what it would mean if I reached it. I have those times when I am fed up and make a rash change but so far, I haven't broke. I usually try to do things to relax but more than that...my actions are calculated. I play out the choices I have in my head and choose the way I will respond or react depending on what benefit I want from it. Keep in mind that my scenarios are not all sweet with wonderful outcomes. I am just well prepared for them. There are always times when we can't control what is happening around us but the one thing you do have control of is yourself and what you do about the things going on around you. Take care and good luck

I am curious how did you snap? I have never snapped before in my live. I have beat the crap out of some people and im not proud of that but I wouldnt call that snapping thats just self defense. I try not to stress anything, if life gets too stressful try to simplify things if something your doing adds stress try not to do it. Eliminate anything stressful I dont associate with people who try to stress me out I cut them off.

Get up and have fun at least once in a while. Never dwell on things that you know can break you. There is so much to enjoy in life!

There was a part before two months or so, when just a lot of bad things happened to me in two weeks and I just couldn't find a good spot in my life.. But I kept hanging in there and soon everything started to get better, I didn't let my spirit down and kept going my way, I was under a lot of stress, but then I started dealing with my problems one at a time, and when all was over, I just went out with my friends and got drunk to wash out all the bad things that happened to me.. When I'm stressed a lot, I just try to do as many things as possible, so I keep my mind occupied with other things, so I don't think about stuff that bothers me and keeps me stressed. Maybe you should try that too. Good luck and I wish that you cheer up and that you get rid of all the stress and problems that bother you :)

Well, that depends from the level of stress. If I'm gonna snap, everybody can predict and feel that coming, first thing I do is to remove myself physically immediately from society that surround me, I don't want to escalate in front other people because it is to embarrassing later. you don't need anybody accept yourself then, take a long long walk, you can smoke something if you want and after some time you will feel better. you need to learn to control yourself and environment, learn how to avoid stupid people or situations.

As far as I can remember,what you said hasn't ever happened to me.I don't know what knotty problem you came across.Don't you let the matter drop for some time to get your mind off that?For something sometimes the more you think of,the more annoying you feel.
