Something has got to give in my life and so far it has been my body but my stress level has been under attack lately. I grew up believing that a diagnosis of stress was a cop out for not being able to deal with life. You dealt with problems as they came up and you moved on. I really don't believe that any more. I want whoever is in my life at the time I die to add up all of the years that my job and my family has taken off my life.
I do not think that a stress free existence is possible any more. There are methods that can be used to reduce stress but I just need to figure out what they are. Getting rid of my family is not an option (at least a legal one) but not getting involved in all their drama is an option. Sometimes I feel like I am living a reality show.
Work is another story. I should work in a stress free environment. The powers that be have decided that is not possible. My job is not as difficult as they make it out to be. I know what my job is, what my priorities should be, and I should be able to just go in and do those and go home at the end of the day, knowing that I did the best I could do. They just cannot let it be that simple.
