I think the stress is really getting to me....

I think my stomach can not handle it any more. I've had horrible pains in my stomach since yesterday. I'm sitting here at work hoping Pepcid or something will do the trick, but in all honestly I think relieving my stress will do it.

I have my mother living with me. Who has been out of work because of her hip. Shes barely getting any moey. Hardly enough to help pay towards the rent. I'm worried whats gonna happening the 1st of May when another payment is due.

My FH is getting no overtime. He can
t help pay for jack. And here I am trying to work overtime to help pay not only all my bills, but the wedding stuff, my kids stuff and now I might have to worry about the rent too. Thats an extra $1200 I might have to come up with. Its unfair to me. If I start taking all the overtime I'll hardly see my kids because one will be with my mother and the other will be with FH's mother , and they'll be asleep by the time I get home. And never really see eachother.

I wonder if all of this is seriously causing me to get an alcer or something.

i feel you girl... i have had stomach pains and the worst headaches ever... just try to relax and do like two hours on non wedding related things before you go to bed to unwind... i've been trying to do this myself although not sure how much its helping because then the next day i think about all the stuff I couldve done in that time and I get all stressed out again

I have acid reflux and I find that it acts up when I am completley stressed. I have had an endoscopy and they didnt find any ulcers so thats good. If it keeps on bothering you, you should go and get it checked out you dont want it to turn into an ulcer.

Is there any other siblings that can help you take care of your mother?

Well... I have one brother who is a jerk and does nothing! And the other one is constantly working!! So little old me gets the responsibilty. I wouldn't mind because she helps with my older daughter after school and what not. But its really a money burrden on me at this point.

I was terrified to take my xanax because my belly hurt so bad and I just took half now and I feel better. So I guess it really is just stress of money and everything doing it to me.

I just need to find other ways not just my pills here and there to help, becaise I can't keep getting this way. Especially when i have 2 children you know.
