Recently I've noticed myself being more stressed. I've had problems at work, I was recently diagnosed with a bad medical problem, my life seems to be at a standstill and other issues. I guess I'm just looking for advice on what you would do in these situations?
Well first of all, I'm sorry about everything you're going through! It's kind of hard for me to give you advice unless I have more specifics, though. I myself dealt with some serious medical issues last year, in the middle of moving my family and planning a wedding, and there was a lot of pain and stress all around. What I do in situations like that is to try to focus on small, attainable goals each day that will give me a signpost of something to work towards. This can be simply "I'm gonna get that script done" to "I'm not gonna eat junk food this week." I think when things are bad on multiple levels in one's life, you almost need to go into a triage situation where you take care of as many of the smaller issues as you can, and then see if you are ready to find a way to tackle the big ones. Anyway, it works for me and I'm no genius. Just remember that everyone goes through ups and downs like this, and eventually things will turn around! Good luck!
