Stress is bad (blog post)

Do you ever feel really stressed? I've been feeling that way lately. I'm not sure why. I think part of it is my Mom dying last year.

I don't think I've properly dealt with it yet. I don't really know how. It still doesn't seem real to me. I also get really stressed from a bunch of little annoyances that add up.

Can you relate?

We shouldn't let little things bother us. But sometimes they just keep adding up and that's where I get really stressed out. I need to learn to relax more.

I take anxiety medication as needed for my extreme anxiety.

It helps a lot. I think I just need to learn to express my feelings more.

That's always been hard for me. I bottle things up really bad. I think we all do that to some extent. I just have a lot on my heart and mind that is waiting to come out.

I've just been through a lot.

Still trying to figure out how to process it all. I need to remember to be grateful for all the little things, and also to not let the little annoyances bring me down.

After all, they are part of life. Therapy would probably help me a lot, but I've never been totally comfortable opening up to a stranger.

I think I'd just rather deal with things on my own. Blogging is like therapy for me. It really works. Just getting everything out.

Anyways thank you for reading, more to come later.
