How Do You React When Dealing With Stress?

Tweet

Some people tell me I tend to over react some. My husband tells me I just need to calm down and face things a little more quietly as they come. Right now due to me trying to get over this Cold, and Laryngitis it takes nothing at all to stress me out. But then at the same time I have a lot of pressures in my life right now I really need some answers for, and until some of this happens, I feel like I am so wound up at times. First there is an issue with a Company that ended up making my CREDIT horrible. I had to fight with them even to get anywhere. I finally got a payoff amount from them, and had to go to the Bank and get a loan from them to pay it off. Then it took me to call them before they showed a 0 balance. I payed them over $5000 in just the last 2 yrs. and they are trying to tell me I owed them still a lot of money besides this, so they took a loss by doing this. The reason it is such an issue is I am wanting to buy a New place, and we want to sell our Condo. When I was talking with a loan officer the other day, she was not sympathetic with me at all, and told me I would have to wait at least a yr. to see if my Credit improves. Also, she told my husband and I even if we had Excellent Credit, we did not make enough $$, and so no one would want to get us a loan. I was like in shock, as I have never heard anyone saying something like this before even ever trying to crunch some numbers. We even talked with someone else in November that told us the main issue was the Household Finance thing I paid off, and $$ would not be an issue. So now I feel like this woman was just not wanting to help us, and may have wanted the place we were looking at wanting to buy herself. Unless due to all the Financial issues people are having with homes, Foreclosures, etc. how could this be a real issue so much more so now than then? We even make a little more now than then as well. I just know honestly, I was not impressed with her at all, so we have decided to look elsewhere for a place to buy. We are still interesting in getting a double wide as they are a lot cheaper, and quite roomy. We even went and looked at a 3 bedroom one again tonight thru someone else. The only thing that sort of bothers me, is that they usually are in a lot, and they have a land lot you pay. So I guess that could be a drawback here? If it were you, what should we do? We live in a 1 bedroom Condo, we have been buying. It just is way too small for us, and we really want to buy something else, and Love the idea of a double wide. I would Love to hear some ideas, and suggestions, and things we need to consider with wanting to do this, and if you have been thru this, how do you deal with the stress without wanting to take it out on someone as well?
