Well, my mother and I constantly argue about stupid things mainly. Because of this, I've felt like she doesn't really like me and tries to blame things on me. So we were talking about this and now have reached an "agreement". In between arguments we were fine, nice to each other and whatnot, but now after this argument, I feel like she is acting too "tv mother-like" if you know what I mean. Sort of like Leave It to Beaver's mom in a way. This might change after a certain period though. Also, I feel sort of stressed from my father not really being like a father. We don't do much together or talk or anything like that. I feel like I don't like him that much, but I don't want to feel that way. I don't really want to talk to him about it though. Sometimes I get stressed with my brother because we fight, but it doesn't bother me too much. I'm also stressed because I feel like I never have anything to do. My closest friend that I do everything with is on a 5-week vacation. I feel like I'm always at home. I also feel like I'm too shy and don't meet and befriend enough people. I'm also getting myself stressed about my old horse's health. There are probably other things as well, but I can't think of them right now. Sorry this was so long and specific, but it felt sort of good to get it all out and write it down.Ben said:Perspective. That's the answer that will always lead you back to feelings of health when faced with stress like this. Put the situation with your mother into perspective, analyze it from a distance and see that things are not as stressful as they seem (probably).
If you don't mind me asking, what has got you so stressed? What's going on?
