I would’nt know where to begin but here goes. my husband died over 7 years ago and everything has gone down hill. family bills etc. now on top of it i am now diabetic and it seems like there is never away to get all i need for it on top of everyone not helping me at all. I can tell more later. please add me to the stress group

Where to start 3 years ago my wife of 27years left when she did she left our nephew which we took in from DFS he has a lot of issues as he was abused in many ways including sexual at the hands of an older brother,then i lost my house to foreclosure because i am disabled and couldnt afford it on my disability.I also have heart disease and other health issues.I was diagnosed with depression 30years ago and it has gotten really bad lately,i even thought about suicide at times but i couldnt bring myself to do it.I am really tired of living like this and dont want to keep going on but i still do and not sure why i even try anymore.Trying to deal with my nephews issues and his ADHD problems in school my issues and everything else is getting to be too much for me.I am going to have to file bankruptcy but cant come up with the money it takes.I am starting to become overwhelmed with everything and i dont see any way out.I fear my thoughts and what they tell me to do.I just dont want to go on any more i wish i wasnt here any more.I need more help but cant leave my nephew to get in service help because i cant leave him with anybody because he cant be trusted with young kids and all my kids have young kids i guess im just a little lost.I dont see any way out of my situation but to end it but i also know thats right either.

Please count me in this stress less group

Please include me in joining in the Stress Less group. I have a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old. I know i need to learn how to stress less with them while they’re growing.

i was in an accident around a year ago and im still trying to recover. and now my daughter says she can’t forgive me for leaving her mother and my daughter i just could not take anymore so i left and i thought the best thing was to leave her with her mother but this stresses my and sometimes i don’t know what to do because i love her so vary much i would die foer her in a moment and with no holding back thats how i love her age 16yrs

I’d like to join the stress less group. In the last two years, my life has become a nightmare. My older sister died after a very brief illness, my oldest sister is near death after dealing with heart disease/pulmonary fibrosis/Lupes for nearly nine years, earlier this week I found out a dear friend is dying of pancreatic cancer, and today I was told that my father has a nodule in his lung that is probably cancer. I have already lost two siblings to lung cancer. I am divorced and childless so am feeling very alone right now.

I’d like to join the stress less group. I have lived most of my life in a stressed state. I’m getting better, it’s a slow process. I do know how to manage it better. I have always been a nervous type, and suffer with anxiety as a child & later depression. This is a struggle that’s hard to overcome. But thank God for Therese & Beyond Blue, this is one of my life lines, along with alot of others. I’ve always been a worrier too. I went thru a ugly marriage when I was 20 yrs old, and that’s when i first had my encounter with stress, i was a mess, and it’s been pretty much a struggle up until even now at 45 yrs old.I have a collection of self-help books, and I am a Christian and I often ask myself, if you’re a christian, and you have all this material to read, and Beyond Blue, etc, then why isnt’t it working, then i realized, that this is a daily struggle for me, and it will take time & patience & practice, i have to really work it. So any positive feedback I can get, I try to use it.

I, too, suffer from an anxiety disorder …have for 37 years now (I’m 48). I think it would be great if we could all help one anther in this struggle.

1. Injured on job sometime in early 2007. Couldn’t handle working with the pain anymore. Last day of work — March 10, 2007. Only cash received was exactly $1,000 last week of December 2007.
2. Both my son & I have undiagnosed seizure disorders. His situation is more unstable than mine. Neither of us have seen a specialist because we have no insurance. Up until recently we have relied on free clinic to get our meds. This clinic used to be really good but it has changed alot. The nursing staff as well as some of the volunteer residents are extremely rude. You have to wait for hours. We became very ill this past February. we presented to the clinic on Thursday only to be told to go away. The nurse in charge guaranteed us a spot for Tuesday. We had to wait in the cold with 103^ fevers. They were rude it was terrible. I guess the stress point here is that I had been sick since November and now I had become worse. Usually when my son gets sick he has a seizure. Added to everything else, this didn’t help (they are supposed to be a Christian organization too). We had to drive all the way out to Owasso because they said you could be seen in 20 minutes. I almost wrecked the car twice. I’ll skip the details of this visit, but let’s just say the “professional” staff didn’t act very professional. My son told me that he felt like he was going to have a seizure. I went to tell the nurses. They just stood there. No one came in to check on either of us. Not cool.
3. Son decided to go to Spartan College of Aeronautics. Of all the choices he had to make it was to go through one of the toughest programs in the country. It’s been touch and go but “we” are learning alot.
4. He has had 1.5 seizures at school. Now they won’t let him back until he is medically cleared. That means finding a specialist, getting tested, and having one doctor follow him for a length of time. THAT MEANS MONEY. Guess what — I don’t have any.
5. Applied and received a settlement loan. That money was gone after three – four months. Surprised that it lasted that long. Called and requested additional loan. Sounds like I could get it BUT my attorney says he won’t do it. So that means the money that would be available to get much needed medical help for my son, cover our meds, and buy food, isn’t there. STRESS to the max.
6. Both my parents are 77. They leave stove elements on. Mom’s going what appears to be the early-to-mid stages of dementia. You name it. So that means that I’m no the caregiver for three people (plus one cat).
7. Despite my dad being older. It hasn’t stopped him from trying to sell MY house without my knowledge. Guess what? I know. They dealing with knowing that your parents are lying to you on a daily basis. They go out to eat but don’t bring anything home for us even though they know full well that we have to totally rely on them for everything right now. I get reminded of that every day. It’s like the choose to be oblivious to what’s happened with my arm. No comment on all the other daily verbal abuse. They hide groceries as well. You have no idea how hungry I am right now.
8. Workers Comp demands that I have surgery — even though its been almost three years since the initial injury. You want your money? Get cut — don’t question. I tried to explain that I have no support system that I can count on at home. My attorney said that the court won’t care. All they see is that there are three other people living with you that can take care of you. NOBODY IS LISTENING. Does anyone else ever fell that way? I know that I’m not the only one, but this is too much.
9. They always say that God only gives you what you can handle. Whoever came up with that should be shot. I’ve had more than my fair share. I want to relax. Not to be so angry. To be free from some of these burdens. I guess I could just walk away from all my responsibilities but that’s not me. If anyone has any solid realistic suggestions. Please let me know. I also am looking for any and all resources of cash to pay for my son’s medical treatment. (It will cost about $5-10,000 + airfare etc. to go to the Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center.) You know, I’ve never been a slave to money. I hate it. But it seems like the world revolves around it and if you don’t have any — you’re nothing. Nobody.
10. Thank you for reading all this. It’s partly a release mechanism and partly a plea for assistance. I don’t think that anyone would argue that I am totally stressed out. And, I didn’t even put everything in here (at 03:04am).
