What do you do when your life gets really stressful?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) July 30th, 2018

I feel tired all the time. I feel ungrateful for typing this because I’m in a spot I think most would like to be in. I own my own place, I’m in a great relationship (although 7 years now and not married haha), I have great benefits from my job with plenty of time off, I am getting my MBA for free, and I have a family that supports me.

All of this yet I feel so unfulfilled with my life and keep thinking every day how difficult life is and the many responsibilities that come with it. I am not depressed and not thinking of taking my life just so we are clear, but I just think about how it’s hard for me to enjoy life and relax. My job is short-staffed, always has been but they put a lot of the work on me and I’ve been trying to balance school and work. It’s hard because my classes are often group projects where we would meet and its for several hours.

I’m also trying to balance this out with being a Maid of Honor to my cousin for her wedding. Luckily we are getting it over with. We have to be clean up crew to 600 people at the venue she is renting! I also realize the void I feel at work so I’ve always had an interest in e-commerce. I decided to start with Amazon and start a private label product which has been selling every day but its too competitive with little profit so now I have to think of something else. I also work for my parents’ business because I feel I need to since they need help but none of my other siblings do, they have their own life.

I just feel stressed, like my mind is boggled down with so much I have to do with little free time. Meditation and massages don’t work. I just feel like I want to shut out the rest of the world and live alone.
