Wedding Frustrated about nothing

[museikchik]

I am giving everyone a warning. This is a rant. I repeat this is a rant. Has anyone else ever felt frustrated with everything? I just kind of feel like I am in a rut right now. My relationship with my FI is wonderful (if it weren''t for him I think I would have lost my sanity years ago). Its just that everything in my life always feels soo difficult. Just once I would like to take the easy route and not have to go through an obstacle course every single time. I don''t even know what triggered this but right now I am just feeling like I should be someplace else in my life and it frustrates me that I am not even close to being there. I am tired all of the time and completely stressed out. I am hoping that once I complete my Master''s program and get married that I won''t be as stressed out anymore. I always thought that after I got married I would apply to a Psy.D program, now I am not so sure. As awesome as it would be to get a Psy.D, what good is it if I am totally going to be stressing out like this all of the time (I don''t want to take years off of my life). When we get married, I am totally going to have the most relaxing honeymoon ever (I just need to figure out where we are going). That is about it. Thank you soo much for listening. I just needed to vent.

*HUGE HUGS* to you. It sounds like life is pretty stressful right now. I can totally relate--it seems like my life kind of hates me lately . . . but it totally could be my attitude. Anyway, I''m thinking about you, and I hope there''s some sunshine over the horizon for you soon.

Awww, hugs to you from me too! Sometimes it can feel like life just throws everything possible at you, but stay strong. Look on the bright side, you will be married soon and things have gotta get better then. I think planning a wedding can make you more prone to stress. I have only just started planning ours, but sometimes I feel like all my spare time is spent on the web looking at venues, photogs, sorting quotes, emailing etc sometimes I don''t even have time to Pricescope

Hopefuly things will calm down a little for you. Maybe you can take an afternoon off and have a massage or something? Or if you are stretched for cash (and how many of us brides aren''t?), grab a bottle of your fav wine, your fiance, take the phone off the hook, run a bubble bath and just spend time together. The best stress-reliever I know!

Thank you ladies for your support. I think yesterday was just a bad day. Things are a little better today. I didn''t go to the gym though (which I probably should have). I hung out with my brother instead and we actually had a good time. We were cracking each other up talking about all the dumb stuff we used to do to each other when we were little. It made me feel better.

I totally think it''s the work. I just posted a vent about this in the Healthy Lifestyle. I think we are seeped in toxic energy at the office. We need to all go out to lunch tomorrow.

 

[museikchik]

Sounds good. We definitely need to do something, ANYTHING fun to keep us motivated in that office. Oh I was thinking about the whole Make a Wish Thing. I was trying to remember what GEICO used to do to get people to give money. One of my favorite things (which will probably never happen at CDS) was the chance to throw a pie in your supe''s face. In that case it was a contest and only a few people got to do it but it was still fun to watch. I would totally pay for that and of course it would all be in good fun. I think there are too many egos in the office that would take the fun out of it even if we did decide to do something like that.

I understand 100%. ((hugs))

 

[museikchik]

Thanks for the support Sarah. It is nice to know that I am not crazy...

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Definitely not crazy. I am like

about the smallest thing. Just trying to relax and de-stress as much as possible via internet and video games.

 

[museikchik]

Sarah you play video games too? I thought I was like the only girl on the whole planet who plays video games. Whenever I talk about it people look at me like I am some kind of freak or something. What kind of games do you play?

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Mostly I''ve been playing World of Warcraft. But I play a lot of things..I love the Wii!!! Do you play PC games at all? I am excited about Spore!

 

[museikchik]

The only PC game that I play would be SIMS 2. I have almost all of them. What is crazy is that I totally know all of the cheat codes so it makes playing a lot more fun. They are coming out with SIMS 3 next year so the plan is to give all my stuff to my younger sister (who I got addicted to the game) and get the new ones. I saw that they were coming out with Fable 2 in October and had never really played it. My brother used to play it all of the time and I would totally make fun of how nerdy he was for playing it. So it was only 10 bucks at Best Buy. I bought it and was addicted to it for a week. I am keeping a safe distance from it during the work week. It got to the point where I was playing until 2am. Not fun when you have to go to work the next day. It is awesome to know that there is a fellow female gamer out there.

 

[SarahLovesJS]

I think Ladypirate is a female gamer, too! We've talked about WoW once or twice. Haha that's funny I am actually installing Sims 2 as we speak. I thought it might be fun since I hadn't played it in a while. Sims 3 will be awesome! Well I am a loser, but I LOVE Mario kart for the Wii and Wii fit is pretty cool. I loved Halo (used to say it was my favorite) until Halo 3..I was kind of disappointed. It just kind of ruined it for me.

ETA: And lately I've been getting into classics and going back and playing the old super mario games and Zelda!

 

[museikchik]

I love Mario Kart for the Wii. I totally have to play with the classic controller though. I suck with the wheel. My FI and I loved the original Halo too. We used to stay up late just to finish certain missions and stuff. Halo 3 was a huge disappointment. You know what is funny. I have never beat Zelda. I get up to a certain point where I get stuck in the Dark World and just stop playing. Anyways I think that is soo awesome.

 

[kittybean]

Ooh, I also love Mario Kart for Wii and SIMS 2! I don''t own either, though, and only get to play when I''m at my parents'' house with my 14-year-old brother. I''ve been telling FI we need a Wii, and it looks like he''s warming up to the idea.
