Marriage on the rocks and Grandma's in the hospital, starting to feel it

Staying Positive · Post by **Staying Positive** » Tue May 06, 2008 5:28 am

I am trying to keep my wits but I'm starting to feel anxious with all this stuff going on. My marriage leaves me feeling sometimes like what life am I living and I feel like I don't have a place, like I don't know what I'm doing or what I have anymore. Then Grams in the hospital and not doing good is bugging me cuz my Mom is there and won't leave her side and not taking the best care of herself. Stupid things start to bother like my chest hurting from cold and working hard over the week end and then I start thinking dumb stuff like there's something wrong with me and I need to go to the hospital. I try to put up the STOP sign and it works and it doesn't. And, I try to get to the real matter with what's bothering me, but I can't do a whole lot about it right at this moment, so I try to say, I'll work on it later and the whole line. Well, my kids are pulling at me so I have to end this. Any encouraging words would be nice and thanks for letting me get this out. S.P.
Oh yeah, there might be some weather coming and if anyone around here knows me, you know I hate bad weather-

Here's what you need to do:

Sit down quietly and list all the things you are grateful for in your life. All of it. Start with 10 things. Keep the tablet open with a pen nearby because everytime you walk by that tablet you will write something else that you are grateful for. Right now you are focusing on all the wrong things. Change your focus. Your dispostion will follow.

My best to you.
