Stress!

Hey everyone,

So today I want to talk about stress and the things that come with having stress. So my life right now is pretty crazy because I finished my first year of university so I’ve been back home since April 12^th which has been really nice since I’ve gotten to spend time with my family and see some friends that I haven’t seen for a couple months. So as nice as it has been being back home for the past month I am actually moving into my own place with four other girls in just two days. As much as I am excited about having my own place, I am also very stressed because I still have yet to find a job and I am waiting to see if I will be getting a line of credit that I applied for.

Now I know it sounds silly to be moving into my own place without having a job to support myself but I signed for the house back in February and figured by this point in time that I would have found a job by now. I was wrong. I have been looking for a job for quite a while now but I started seriously looking in March, and by seriously looking I mean looking online every day to see if any jobs have opened up positions. I did end up having an interview almost a month ago and did get the job but I was unable to accept it due to unavailable transportation, which really sucked but there wasn’t anything I could do about it. So not only am I moving into my house on Wednesday I have an interview that day as well as on Thursday so fingers crossed that I get at least one of those jobs. As I also mentioned, I also applied for a line of credit because I am worried that I will not have to money to financially support myself and I will hear if I get it or not by either this upcoming Friday or early next week. So, I have a lot on my plate and it’s been getting to me more and more as these dates have been getting closer and this stress has taken a toll on me.

The stress that I have been facing is mostly due to financial stress because I do not currently have a job and won’t be able to support myself fully when I move out in a couple days, but I am also experiencing stress because I am officially moving out of my mom’s house and will be off on my own in this big scary world. The stress symptoms that I have been getting in the past week is that my skin has decided to turn on me and breakout which sucks but I am getting it under control ( or at least more than it has been) and that I have been losing sleep. I can deal with my skin with products and whatnot but my loss of sleep has been really effecting me but making me moody, obviously exhausted, and stress more. In the past week on average I get about a maximum of four hours of sleep a night and this isn’t because I’ve had caffeine or eating before bed because I am watching what I’m drinking and eating, It’s all due to stress. There isn't much to do in this situation but wait it out and wait to move in, have my interviews, and wait for the results for the line of credit.  Now I am hoping by the end of this week and into next week my stress will be relieved by hearing some good news but If not I will have to take action in finding some ways to reduce the stress.

Anyways, that is it for today. I know this post is kind of long but I wanted to express how I've been for the past week because it sucks but a lot of people go through this and it’s good to get it out to the public and show that it’s normal but people deal with this kind of thing differently than others. Hopefully you are living a stress free life but if not let me know what you are stressing over, and how you deal with it!

Take care! xxx
