Feeling a little stressed out? Need to vent about it?

I'll start. Okay. Money (or rather lack of money!) has me stressed out feeling. I'm in my second wave of clonazepam withdrawal right now and want to puke. Right now my life consists of working and sleeping. If I could sleep all the time that would be awesome!

Your turn.

I am so stressed my eyes are bleeding, steam is coming out of my ears, and my head spins in circles!
I need a new computer for my wife and I don't even have enough money to buy a calculator!

Oh, this is good.
I'm stressed because my daughter needs new clothes.
I need to get new contacts and my husband refuses to buy them for me.
My step-daughter won't clean her room and my husband won't do anything about it. She keeps messing up but doesn't get any consequences for it even though my little ones get consequences when they mess up.
It takes everything in me to not lash out at him in a rage especially when he antagonizes me.
I mostly feel so alone.
I want to cut so badly.
Sometimes I think about suicide... a lot.
And the ugly side effect of this lithium hasn't gone away yet even though my dose was lowered a couple days ago.

Money has me stressed too. My husband and I are on a fixed income and it doesn't last all month. Right now I'm trying to figure out how we are going to eat until payday. Unfortunately, I can't convince my husband that there is a problem.

Oh, I'm also stressed because my old manager left and he was a jerk and I was happy he left and now he's coming back tomorrow.

Money is a major stress, the instability of my husband who will not get any help. The fact that I need to spend more time with my outside family and just don't want to get out. Having to take my daughter to and from work 5 days a week and the truck is starting to make noises and I'm worried it won't make it till income tax (the only time of the year we can afford vehicle work). My mind reals with stressful things and all I can do is try to let go.

Financial issues. Missing work due to taking intermittent leave isn't helping.

An SO that doesn't get MI and doesn't really want to understand. I am tired of trying to explain.

Stressed out do to being overwhelmed, just way too much on my plate and can't catch a break.

And on another note, another symptom of being bipolar is being crazy broke . . . lol.

Today's stress rant involves a jerk driver. Beeping at me to go when another car was already in motion, turning across my intended path. I never took physics, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't have occupied the center of the intersection at the same time as the other driver without incident(!) (Imagine! Actually waiting till he'd cleared! The nerve of me, eh?) When clear, I peeled out, letting rip what for and a half in the jerk behind me's general direction.

Was NOT in the mood to suffer azzhats gladly. (Am I ever? )

SO glad to be home now...

My stress vent today is how the people who work at the pharmacy I go to are idiots and I called in two refills (one refill left on each one!), and was told I have no refills and they need to get my doctor's authorization. Okay. Then about two hours later I get a call from my pdoc's nurse, who tells me she's calling about the propronalol refill the pharmacy called and said I wanted.

I called in to get refills on my trazodone and stupid hydroxyzine (which doesn't ****ing work, I haven't been taking it the last couple of weeks because it's a JOKE, and I was just getting a refill because my seasonal allergies have been bothering me, and that's the only thing it helps with).

Anyway, so I talk to this nurse, who asks if I want to be put on the propranolol, and I say sure, because HYDROXY-JOKE isn't working. And then I actually tell her about how horrible my anxiety has been lately, I have the cloud of dread, I'm convinced that everyone hates me, I've started having trouble sleeping because when I go to bed and lay down all I can hear is my heart beating and pounding in my chest (whereas before I was sleeping a lot), etc., and I say maybe we should try something else as well for my anxiety...

Yeah. That didn't work. She just upped my trazodone dose and put me on propranolol.

I AM SICK OF DOCTOR'S NOT TAKING MY ****ING ANXIETY SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!! That alone has ruined my ****ing life! It ****s with your self-esteem, your self confidence, etc. It can destroy your life. I'd rather be paranoid and delusional than feel the way I feel right now.

(Whew. Okay. I feel better now. )

This online homeschooling is stressing me out sooooo BAD!!!! My schedule is so full that I haven't much time to breathe. Been having to take my clonopin, which before I rarely used, almost every day. my anxiety is out the roof. I feel as if I'm about to erupt, just don't know how, almost feels like I'm headed for a mixed episode. Feeling really on edge and there is no way at reducing the stress load. OMG I am not doing so well with all this stress.

I'm stressed out now because I've developed some terrible insomnia! I took 300mg of trazadone last night and 100mg of seroquel (seroquel out of desparation) and I still couldn't fall asleep! What the hey.

I need to find a first job and at this moment I don't know if I could manage it. Sorry about your financial situation.
