Stressor like a dresser
Sorry for the title, but I couldn’t come up with a good rhyme… Although RhymeZone.com suggests ‘lesser,’ ‘professor,’ ‘successor,’ and ‘air compressor’ as possible alternatives… (Also, sorry for being remiss in posting. I think the big reason for that is all the stuff listed below.)
Anyway, I’ve been stressing: having trouble getting to sleep, feeling nervous and panic-y, all the stuff I was talking about in early December.
I realized one of the things that helped me then was listing all the stressors, so I figured I’d try that again now:
- Relationship/transitioning issues with G
- Feeling like I don’t have enough time for all the things in my life and for myself. ‘All the things in my life’ includes:
- Monday: Therapy
- Tuesday: Workshop rehearsal for the piece I’m directing (and now, conflicting, a weekly theatre thing with friends)
- Wednesday: Trans youth group
- Thursday: Workshop class I’m teaching (starts next week)
- Friday: Blissfully nothing, and the stress of using downtime ‘well’
- Saturday: A class I’m taking; more Workshop rehearsal
- Sunday: Rehearsal for a friend’s recital piece that I don’t really want to do but am doing as a favor to her
- (And, of course, a full-time job)
- Money, specifically paying off hair removal (3/4 of the way there, but I want it off my back)
- Buying a new wardrobe (partially linked to ‘money’; I have, like, six or seven tops that I can reasonably wear to work that I just keep cycling through)
- Feeling insecure in the transition (to be the subject of a longer post, one of these days)
Boo! Stress, stress, go away, and don’t come back another day!
