I can't handle stress.

Hello, i am new to this.

I don't think this is the right place to post but i don't know where is.

I am finding it hard to cope. I manage but its difficult. I can't cope with stress and i hate change. I find that every thing bad happens all at the same time.

My mother is in a Psychiatric hospital, she took an overdose. she was in and out of them when i was a child, so i am use to her being there.
About two weeks into her being there my cat died.

I keep things going in the house with no help and people say i do nothing.

I am a forgetful person. I forget things even more when there is to much going on.
Iam trying to gain weight but i forget to eat or i am too tired or i have other things to do.
And that causes me more stress.
My self esteem is low.
My family make me feel worthless. I know they love me but they don't word things great.
They don't realise that i am doing my very best and that i like to spend time on my own.

I know you probably think this is nothing but for me its difficult.

If conditions and terms exacerbate, tell your family how you feel.
If they don't like it, they should take it up the ass, anyways.
If you're too afraid, get comfortable and / or plan ahead. However, avoidance will only help you so long. Sooner or later you'll have to confront them, albeit when you might be at your worst, from months or years of jading- hiding your sullen face. Think of all the opportunity that could be lost!
You're not going to change, though, right?
For your own sake, don't let them pressure you if you're already doing your best or if you want or need to be alone. (:

I always used to be nervous when I was a kid and a teenager, but somehow I managed to get through. Now, at 30 years old, I myself I am finding it hard to manage stress. Don't know why things worsened suddenly, though.

I am feeling the same way. My dr. Recently diagnosed me with adjustment disorder with anxiety. I have some very big life changes coming my way, first child is due soon, and I am starting a new job soon. I am just freaking out. I was prescribed a "mild" anti depressant, but still feel like anxiety is taking over my body and my life. I am just so nervous that I am unprepared, and will not do well at my new job, so much that I feel like quitting already. Before I have even started.

I just don't know how much more of this I can handle. I do t feel like getting out of bed, and I cannot eat. Any suggestions from anyone?

I cant handle stress either.
depending on what causes me to feel stressed, i may have various reactions. The first one that occurs, and the most frequent one is procrastination. sometimes i even freeze and dont have any reaction at all.. sometimes it makes me cry...
i feel my reactions to stress become worse the more i age >.>

i wish there was a miracle happening to take it all away...

Life happens. Bad things happen all the time. Good things happen all the time, too. The trick is noticing what you want to notice, and not obsessing on the negative. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Life can only be as beautiful or as miserable as the person who perceives it. The trick is to teach your mind to focus on the good, and minimize the bad. It's actually very easy for people to let themselves slip into a never-ending whirlwind of depression and self-defeat, especially if they don't actively prevent it. The mind is very powerful, and you're the only person in the world who can effectively argue with your thoughts. Get in the habit of actively taking control of them, and thinking positively, and soon it will become second nature.

People have lied and talked $#%^ to each other since the beginning of time, and they will continue to do it until we're all extinct. Don't let that affect you. You know the truth.

How you started this thread is part of the problem. Don't start sentences with "I can't". Replace that BS with "I presently struggle with". That minor tweak seems like nothing, but it at least gives your mind the opportunity to move beyond the present.

At first try to communicate with your family member well. And always try to feel that you are one of the happiest man in this world. Simultaneously you can exercise, also can play which you like most. After then if it will not ok then you can go to a good psychiatrist.

Even I have facing the same kind of issue, I know well there is no use to feel stress and say myself cut it off, cut it off the thoughts that causing me stress; but most of the time help less. I feel like kind of chemical reactions happens in my head and stomach as well and feel like something held in my body. I try to exert those but I can't.

Also like feeling someone should take off all the flesh from my skeleton and replace with it again without any previous thoughts and problems.

As to your last sentence, a benzo helps a lot. I can be very stressed over something and I will take my Klonopln as prescribed...twenty minutes later, I feel much better. You'd need to talk to your doctor about what's best for you, of course...I was sharing what works for me. As you said, it's progressing and getting worse. Let your doctor know.

I hope your mom gets well soon. I can only imagine the stress you're under. I think a therapist could be of benefit to you..
