Could use a bit of advice. Family issues very painful, and could end badly, and its really getting to me. I've been very irritable and rude lately, and I just want to say, its not the real me. Just wondering any advice on how to handle an overload of stress?
Thankyou

Yer not rude bro dont worry about that.. but when i get stressed and over loaded i punch my punching bag till i knock it off it's hindges. or i drive around that helps. and i love to grill out even if it's 20 below zero. i hope them ideas help u out phil. i hope this goes threw i never fourmed on my blackberry before. im at the bears game in chic. Eveything will be ok though man just gotta keep your chin held high and think postive ok? and things will get better sooner rather than later..

Just take a deep breath and let go. Give it all to God and he will take care of it
Whenever you are irritable it's a good idea to stay away from public internet sources. You may post something you'll regret later
Like Grandin said, keep your chin up and brush the dust off.
I agree with Weather, God is all we have sometimes. I have had many situations in my life that I didnt think I could make it though but I had to take my hands of the wheel so 2 speak and let God do it. You have to keep in mind he may not answer the way we think he should and his time clock may be different than ours but in every situation I look back on and I realized he was always on time. I never could or wanted be angry at God b/c I know somethings in life just happen. So what ever the outcome good or bad, I believe God can give you peace of mind. All you have to do it ask. Ill say a prayer for your situation and keep us all posted.
I agree with everyone else. Crap happens. Heck..I'm unemployed honestly. Been so since January 2010. Everyday is a struggle, but I get by. Mainly thanks to God, and my girlfriend and my mom. If she didn't have the job she has, I wouldn't be able to get her to work (legally).
If it isn't one thing, its ALWAYS another…
If I wanna break away, I go ride one of my bicycles.
WJP, I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a difficult time. This year has been very difficult for me in a lot of ways,too, one of which (and the most painful) is that my former best friend and I had a huge falling out, and things are never going to be the same. It is a loss that I feel everyday.
But as weather411 said, you must lean on your faith- whatever that means for you- to get through the hard times. That is what has got me through my difficulties. There are days that are so difficult for me, but I lean on my faith, and it helps me through. It has allowed me to release my burden.
I will be thinking of you and hoping that all goes well for you. I am sorry that you have to go through difficulties like this, but you will get through it, you will be stronger as a result of it, and you will learn from it. And remember, you have friends who care for you, both on and off this forum.
Have a good night, sleep well, and remember- you will get through this, a stronger, and wiser person.
Take care,
Amy
Thankyou so much, I'll pray to the lord every night, you folks are so nice, thankyou.
get out and do some storm chasing…or just drive and find some snow to play in. anyway, keeping u in my prayers.
life is hard and sometimes we find ourselves lost and not in control of ourself but what i have found is you hold on because the new day will come a new time will come and remember the sun will shine tomorrow. I went through the worst year of my life last winter I thought spring would never come but it came. I guess in a nutshell let it go or let it be. Take care.
