Need to breathe and relax (too much stress)

[TravelingChris]

I am a planner. I like to plan the future and then implement the plans. I am not so upset about changes but I like to have a plan to start. You know I have grown a lot in my security issues since I have been 21 1/2 years in the military life. (My father died when I was 13 and then our survivor benefits got lost for months and then I had a repeat of this kind of problem when I was in college and Social Security got confused and didn't pay me for about seven months and then someone stole my check out of the mailbox).

 

So what goes now? I am waiting for everything in my life. I am waiting for medications or treatments to work on my hospitalized son who has major depression. I am waiting to see if dh gets promoted (should know end of this month beginnning of next), then I will wait to see when he is retiring or when we are moving or if he will be deployed. I am absolutely unable to plan for the upcoming schoolyear which starts in a month and less than ten days. I can't plan for that until I know what their test scores were and what classes they will be doing in homeschool academy and/or in community college. But no one is getting any information to me. Schedules that were supposed to be out on June 1st won't be out till July 17th. Then we can sign up for classes but we won't know if minimum are met until August 19th or so. I want my classes started by then since I don'[t know when we are moving. On top of all this, we thought that dh would be retiring on June 1st, 2009 if he wasn't promoted. We set up our lease to end on May 31st. Now with the new GI Bill, looks like we would be giving up many thousands of dollars if he retires before Aug 2009. Where will we go for two months (and no the landlords won't extend)?

That sounds like so much to handle, I don't know if I could do it. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take it one day at a time. You can't control a lot of those things, so worrying about them won't change anything. The best thing you can do is just take it as it comes and do today what you can and not worry about tomorrow. It's harder than it sounds, I know, I'm a planner too. It's hard when I feel as though my life is out of my control.:grouphug:

I'm so sorry that you are having this many struggles. It's enough to bring any person down! Yikes. Hang in there! ((((Hugs))))
