resentment

[Jessie]

how do I deal with it? boy am I full of it and its making me horrible....

so many stresses in life, expectations, I feel always overwhelmed.
whether its just cleaning, moving forward in life which seems I get blocked at every turn for that.(like I want the house cleaned so it gets literally much worse when I say something) finances always strained. I get irritable, discussing it makes me like I'm dumping it on whoever is around me. my friend from Japan wants to come in June and I'm so embarressed thats another stresser.


HELP!

Jessie:

Sound like the normal stresses of living in the world today.

Don't get depressed, I believe that most people today can relate to your concerns.

Just deal with life one day at a time.

I agree with Sid.

Feeling down and frustrated is not resentment.

What you need is a trip to the Bahamas! Stress is a word not found in the dictionary here. All the best............

Look at receiving a visitor from a far place as a good thing. Amazing possibilities are open to you in that regard. A great time of sharing!.......all the best.....

Im alot like you Jessie , I get overwhelmed easy , work , money , worry about everything . But when I get really taken over by my anxieties , I say to myself, so what , its all going to be alright in the end , I think more about the life to come , I find it very comforting.:hug:

I guess a little stress is natural for all of us. Most of my stress comes from the lack of stress on anybody elses part around here. Worry is a different thing all together. Worry cannot change anything. The Lord makes that very clear to us. all the best...

I agree that worrying is the devils trap. He knows that this works on me as well. Its so hard to not worry.But in the end we have a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, doctors are available even if you don't have money or insurance ( at least we aren't living out in the jungle with diseased water) and so on. Just remember whats important to Him. And try to catch yourself as soon as the feeling of stress comes along and think yourself through the situation and your acting out of your present actions. And pray to God for grace. Maybe you just need to sit down and cry and let the stress out. Even if you have no reason to cry sometimes that helps me. And except any flaws or downs on the way and kinda just let it go. Maybe take a much needed break and spend some time outside by yourself ( that helps me too).

I do that when I can crying. it does help.
it will just hit and then be gone then relief!

Jessie,

Do you have time for yourself? I mean real time where you can simply relax and get away, even if for just half an hour, by yourself?

Maybe that would help you recharge your batteries to tackle these difficult times - a regular time just for you and G-d (sorta sounds like Shabbat)...

Resentment can, sadly, poison and destroy relationships. The difficult thing is that often the target of your resentment has no idea about your feelings, and may simply carry on doing those things that cause you to resent them.

"Hanging onto resentment is like letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head."
