I have been a little stressed.

I read this quote that really stuck with me.

“You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes everyday - unless you're too busy; then you should sit for an hour.” - Dr. Sukhraj Dhillon

I think it kind of applies here and it’s something I have to remind myself of too. Decompressing is just as important as working. People who don’t schedule time for themselves burn out. So even if it’s not meditating- if it’s a bath, or a book, or a stroll through a park- you have to make time for yourself.

You're so right! I was meditating and doing yoga, but I lost consistency at some point! I will try to get back into it. It's so weirdly easy to imagine you don't have time for things that improve your entire day. It should be mandatory for me.

Go outside and take a walk. Take in all that is around you using all your senses. Okay, maybe putting your tongue on that frozen lightpole isn't such a great idea, but resist the urge to look at your phone every 7 seconds.

Thanks Soco, a walk is in order, and I really do need to look at my phone less. Cool that a few people have diagnosed me correctly in this regard lol.

You're asking us to tell you how to balance your work and personal life when there is none.

I'm in fact surprised you're only a little stressed. Good job bravo!

I honestly feel pretty lucky in my life so far, I usually manage decent balance. Thank you for the encouraging reply!

As a rule of thumb goes, I have determined that the condition of a person's home is a reflection of their mental well-being. Some people keep their place like a musium, other people have hoarder homes.

Hah. Everything you shared was good, but this was the part that clicked the most for me. My room has been perfectly neat for weeks and in the past three days somehow turned into a mess. I dumped my clean laundry on my floor. At least my floor is really clean. But anyways, I don't do that, so it's like a perfect test. And I do need to cut down on this info overload. I'm just gonna reply a little here, then it's off to sleep! Thank you.

Wow, thank you guys so much, all of this is so helpful. I realized today I'm actually coming down with a cold or something, so that's probably part of the reason I've felt off. But what I really wanted was to just be more aware of what's going on and able to make healthy decisions, and honestly just reading your replies is working for me.

when im on the bottom of the well

That was surreal. I felt like I have been there. The whole time that video played I kept remembering backpacking through the burnt out desert last year.

Stop it. I AM NOT INSECURE NOR DID I EVEN TALK ABOUT IT WITH HER.
IM JUST TOSSING AROUND HOW I felt about it with helpers.
Scroll up and read her patterns.
In plain english. Shes a flirt with males and gets off on it because of her looks.
What I need to decide is if I can respect myself with this abuse..

Hi, I'm honestly just trying to help. I would like to help you see that insecurity is something everyone struggled with and no judgement on your character. It can come from one partner disrespecting you too much, but something that needs to be addressed is that if you honestly see your worth, these things she did wouldn't hurt you so much. The fact that you didn't even talk with her about it, but posted about it on Facebook to get other people's opinions makes it more obvious. She got the ride for you two, in one case, she was obligated basically to sit with the friend to validate the basis of the transaction - friendship.

You sound pretty insecure, do you think there's something you could do that would help you be more secure rather than trying to alter her behavior?
