Anybody wish to share Pet Peeves?

 No!  Due to the stressful nature and negativity of pet peeves I choose not the participate in this thread...
But now that you got me thinking about it....
 
You know what pet peeves just might be a pet peeve for me, worth mentioning..Now that I am thinking about it....

Topic: Consequences of Stress, Part II

Health Educators,
 
I have lead a very stressful life and I have a lot of  the health issues you have listed here except for Adult-Onset Diabetes and have not taken care of myself properly..
I was wondering when we will be starting to work on stress management?
I am looking forward to learning how to create a stress plan...

Drop in and say hello

Sounds Beautiful,
 
We've finished our spring cleaning and organizing project in our garage..I now have a bench with a cutting table on it to work on all my craft projects..I am really looking forward to using it...
Right now I am letting myself rest and relax for a bit..and am enjoying looking at all my roses in bloom and watching my beautiful vegetables grow...

Life is good on this side of the fence....

Topic: Consequences of Stress, Part II

Josie,
 
Great idea! 
 
Thanks for steering me in the right direction..There no time like the present to get started...
 
I did a search like you suggested and came across all kind of good stuff..
 
I came across some of my old posts while I was at it and was pleasantly surprised to see how much progress I have made since I started here. I didn't remember doing the stress management before. I find that as time goes by I just seem to get better and better.  I am still learning a lot and progressing every time I do this exercise...Amazing!!
 
Thank for the help!

Overwhelmed by Clutter and Fear of not Being Perfect

Sabrina:
 
Welcome to the program...
I have some information I would like to pass on to you..I am not sure if it helps but here it goes..
One of my instructors has collected and saved lots of things over the years..All of her class outlines since 1976 and other supplies and stuff in her house...She became overwhelmed with it all and needed help. She hired someone to come to her house once a week and help her. She and this person have begun the process of digging out and she is getting organized slowly but surely..She also has a handyman that comes and helps her..She lives alone and has bone cancer which is in remission right now but still goes for infusion treatments and teaches 3 days a week...
I do not know if it is feasible for you to hire someone to come to your home and sit down with you and help you do this or not but if so it may be something you want to consider....Also there is a sister site here called the depression center, it's listed under more help at the top of the forum page..That you may want to look at..
