Guest Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 tell me this too shall pass, and I will be so sad when it does. Not going into specifics, just having a really horrible day here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avila Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 :grouphug: Maybe the Jessie Wise advice of "take a nap, have a snack, take a bath" would help you, the kids or whatever the problem is? But whatever it is, it will pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinyhappypeople Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 It will pass. It always does. Focus on what you can change. Even if you can't fix everything, making one or two small changes in your personal area of influence can help make the Big, Unfixable Thing less overwhelming. Mostly, just :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellaMama Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Oh I'm so sorry you are feeling overwhelmed! Can you ask everyone to take a half hour quiet time after lunch? Take a moment for yourself. Personnally, I would have a good cry, chocolate, delegate supper to Pizza Hut... Hold the fort together until Dh,grand-ma or a sitter can offer you some well deserved support. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaAkins Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 :grouphug: Here's what works for me... Take a deep breath. Send the kids for some quiet time (or nap if they are young enough). Take a deep breath. Have some protein (a high protein meal always helps me to be able to handle stress better). Take a deep breath. Read some scripture, or a favorite book, or some inspirational quotes. Lower your standards for the rest of the day. Take a walk (unless it is as hot as it is here today! In that case, stay in and turn up the A/C!). Make the rest of the day as easy as you can. Continue to take lots of deep breaths. Take time to pray. Get a good night's rest tonight. If you need anyone to talk with, I'm here...the worst part of having a cr*ppy day is feeling alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks, everyone. I did the call and cry to my dh, pray and take a nap. It is so good to have a place to come to for support without judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
