Should be sleeping

July 14th, 2008

I’m up way too late seeing as I need to be up in less than 6 hours, but I started stressing about work (again) and it got me so worked up, I couldn’t sleep. I tried to relax. Michael had me focus on my breathing so I would stop thinking and it worked, bless his heart, but soon my mind was spinning again.

The only thing that finally calmed me was to get up, find a resolution for the issue that was stressing me out, and make a plan for putting it into action tomorrow. Once that was done, the adrenaline stopped, my mind quieted and I’m getting sleepy now.

I can’t keep this up, at this job or any other. I’ve got to find a way to stop these anxiety attacks, or whatever you’d call them.

Suggestions, anyone?

    Sorry to hear that you’re so stressed at work, Shari! :( By the way, I DO read your blog (I’m referring to what you said in your last post). I haven’t watched that video on Lyme disease yet, but I will! I feel the same way, though, about my blog. I don’t think anyone’s even reading it. Very disheartening. (Well, besides my mother and sometimes Connie.) :(

    My name is Shari, I'm almost 30 and finally I feel "old enough". No kids, just a great husband who is different from me in just enough ways to keep it interesting. We have some lovely pet fish, but reading through just a few posts will reveal that I'm obsessed with all things kitty related. What else? Born in the midwest, raised from age 6 out here in the Southwest, I love all things old fashioned, but I can't go a day without my google reader.
