Feeling blah the last couple of days. I woke up anxious yesterday morning after a nightmare and have been unable to shake the nervous feeling. It comes and goes. I truly hate it. I know I have a lot of stress on my plate this year. A new classroom position in a new building, a dad with stage IV cancer, and then fighting with my husband. Guilt about not spending enough time with my dad, but then guilt about not being home with my kids and doing what I need to do. Ugh! I know I need to chill, but it is difficult once I have gotten myself in such a tight mess.
I get these moments of calmness where I feel like me, then BAM. The nervousness hits and I want to cry. I get so mad at myself. Do I up my meds from 10 mg to 20mg? Will that make it worse to start? All these questions. I am on overload!
Anyone out there experience this? Just looking for someone to talk to.

Re: Stressing
Andy, I can relate. Especially to recent BLAHS. Guilt is something I tend to do to myself often. Especially with not spending enough time with kids. Or playing with them enough or or or.... It's so easy to find things to feel guilty about, I need to practice finding the things to be happy about!! 
Just stick with the program and keep working on you!! you can get past it. You can start to make your days better

Re: Stressing
Yes, there have been times in the past when I was very torn in different directions. I am now in the last stretch of life, surprised I even made it.
So, first, you'll make it too. Next I can say that my first priority were always my son and daughter. Consequently I failed others. Looking back, I have no regrets. They still come first. If you have the program, try and devote some time to it. Otherwise, even just some meditation may help you. Wishing you the best.
