what stresses you ?

Oh, a lot of things stress me. But, what stresses me the most is when there is an emergency situation and I do not have enough money to address that situation. Time and again, I said I'd save up for an emergency fund, but I keep delaying. I also still ask her from my parents when I'm really in need. But, yeah, I can't deny that my obligations are piling up. The other main stressor is my boss. Not my job, but the boss. He makes our lives miserable.

Yes, we go through ups and downs in the course of our lives. I have a full-time job with a very good company doing business internationally. I like the job and I enjoy working with people of different countries and cultures. But, the job is really very stressful some times, to meet the contractual commitments. I some times have to work all day and all night. Really stressful and tiring.

Hi sim! Monetary problems could be a very big reason for our stress and many of us get tensed due to non availability of funds at the right time (I'm no exception). I think we should condition our mind to handle the stress and instead of sitting and thinking over and over again, we should take some 'action' to sort out the reasons, which give us stress. It is said - "Action cures fear". dpk PS - Pl. check your PM.

What stresses me are many things these days. Money being one of them. I do not want to get into anything but it all started with me on 9/11. After a while the stress calmed down but never went totally away. From that point on until today it steadily got worse. There were other things in my life that happened and happened all at once, or so it seems. More like dominos, one fell and there was a chain reaction and it is still going strong. Thats why I come here to keep my sanity or whatever I have left.

It is well known that "care killed a cat and laugh and grow fat",but nobody can say for sure he has no stress except baby ,because life isn't all fun but is full of frustrations.As for me,I have been retired and lead a free and easy life,in addition,my motto is "enough is as good as a feast".However I have stress too,I need to attend my mother who is 90 and take care of my 5.5 years old granddaughter.

I know it sounds funny but things I see coming or that challenge me do not stress me as much as what I do not see coming. I find some stress actually as positive as it puts me in the world with everyone else though too much is not good of course. If I can find a solution or deal with it I am ok with stress but if I do not understand that something is going to explode on my cookie sheet, ouch, did not see that coming.

if maybe you have followed my posts, my discussions, my topic, you could say that i am so stressed. i am just trying to make myself comforted by coming to mylot and talk with friends like you. oh yes, i know you followed my discussions too. and yes, i am stressful these days due to work, family, house, step-children, etc.

Like you, financial concerns are the biggest things that always stresses me out. There seems to be a lot of juggling around that needs to be done just to make ends meet. But unlike you, there is nobody to turn to. So I often have to be creative to get that extra cash. Some come in the form of tax credits that I plan a year ahead. These stress is something we could really do without.

I agree as human we have so many problems to face, a brave person always tackles them wisely in the best possible way, at present i don't have monetary problems, god has given me enough, have 3 buildings.. But my issue now is--'my health and kalyani's health' We took herbal medicines worth 16, 500 rupees in one month, but there is no effect.. Best of luck. Professor

Stress, is definitely part of our lives whether we want it or not. Lately our stress level has been a bit elevated, with the paycuts we've been experience. Our salaries continue to decrease but expenses continue to increases and its not balancing. Once you feel you are getting old of a whole, you dig yourself into another one, it seems like you never get out of it. And it is extremely stressful.

Everything that we do and experience contribute to our daily doze of stress. Actually there are two kind of stress- the Good Stress and the Bad Stress. Good Stress are stress cause by something or some experience that makes a person happy. For example, being surprised since you have won a lottery or there is something that you have been waiting for and it finally came unexpectedly. On the other hand, bad stress are those stress caused by bad things or undesirable things like daily problems. With this, we can safely say that whatever we do we cannot avoid stress. And we should not avoid it. What we need to do is to manage stress so that it will not lead us to be mentally, physically and emotionally broken.

One of the major things that stresses me is my studies. And the other is thinking about my future and career. These are the main things that stresses me up and it's almost everyday and all the time. I am so worried about my future and am thinking about it almost all the time. It scares me.

Currently what stresses me the most (and I mean A LOT!) is debt problem. I know it's my fault (partly) in the first place on why I'm currently swimming in credit card debts but I'm slowly paying them all off. I'm also giving money/allowance at home to my parents since they are both senior citizens now. I'm just scared on what the credit card companies can do since I can't really pay my cards even the minimum amount. I tried to come up with an arrangement for me to pay my bill but they insist me to pay the minimum or something like that before I can have an arrangement with them (I mean, I don't even have enough money to handle the minimum amount). I'm also currently looking for a sideline/part-time job since my full-time work is not enough to pay my bills. Of course their constant, never ending calls also bothers me. There are a lot of questions running inside my head like, "Can a person be jailed or arrested for not paying card bills" or something along that line. What I don't want to happen is to let my parents in on the amount I have to pay with the card companies. One time the credit card company called our home and my mom answered. She totally panicked when she heard the call was from the credit card company. They're not that young and I really don't want to give them any headaches on this matter. Of course, I don't also want to listen to never-ending sermons from my mom :( So basically that's what stresses me the most. If only I can find a solution for this at least my burden will be a bit lighter :( Any suggestions on solving this is very much welcomed.

well, everybody do have problems in life. But its up to you how you would handle it. I am also bothered about my school requirements and fees. But because of my patience and hardwork, I know I can go through all of these things. We should always keep on mind that when we are STRESSED.. remember that these are only DESSERTS (as spelled backwartds)in life.

the main thing that stresses me is having no money to pay bills off. its not like i want more stuff necessarily, i just would like a bit more money to pay off our bills.

I cannot say that I am ever very stressed. I give my problems to the Lord.

Exactly!! Money matters make people stressed a lot and for each and every cause, money is an essential part and when we are in short of money, we will get tensed and stressed heavily. I am now trying to get rid of loans and by which I think I will get slowly come out of my stress. Still, one after another, we may have sort of issues which cannot be resolved and problems alongwith it. Try to get a better solution for all problems and managing them wisely is the way out of it with our limited resources. Also remember, getting a loan may be bit easy but paying back may cause more stress. So, if possible, come out of loans and try to pay of as much early as possible otherwise the bankers will eat up our money in the name of interest. Thank-s

It also stresses me if I have monetary problems. I think every person in the world gets stressed out if they do not have money. Lets admit it, if there is no money at hand, we cant do something.

I haven't think much about money since don't need to pay bills or anything yet!The thing that stress me the most is thinking! Sure i might sound stupid but i have a serious case of overthinking!So it's hard cause i am almost every time of the day stressed!I am currently working on trying to not think so much but instead of not thinking i decided that i should not care about the things that stress me :P

Oh my gosh! I have way to many things that stress me out right now. I just got married to a Jamaican, and have to pay a filing fee for that to get him a visa, my grandpa just passed away, so I had to miss alot of work. Having no money what so ever is the most stressing thing for me I would say. Even trying to find a "better" job than what I have now is hard. I want to do things with my children but its so hard to do without money since kids like to do places and do things you know. It all comes down to.. Money, Money, Money!! lol I hate it!
