STRESS!
what are my tell tale signs of being stressed?
hmm this really set me thinking.
have i been ignoring these signs and pushing myself too hard?
those times when i felt like giving up.
those times when i felt like nth is working out for me.
those times when i'm not in the mood to do anything at all.
those times when i want to study but i just dun feel like doing so when i see those millions of words.
those times when i dun even feel like smiling..
it's like having all energy being sucked out of me..
when lionel asked us to think about it, i realised whenever i feel these negative feelings, the word that comes to me is not "STRESS".
this word has not hit me this year yet, or have i just been escaping from it and ignoring it, treating it like some fatigue setting in, when it is actually not.
but then again, isn't it sth that everyone will go through?
why am i going thru such a strong repercussion?
but then again, what are the things i can do to relieve stress?
listen to music? barely helps.. unless i'm the one playing it..
eat? i'll probably feel guilty for eating too much and stress myself even more.
sleep? gosh no, i won't be able to sleep and i'll feel ten times more guilty.
watch tv? nah...
shopping? another no-no. shopping=financial issues=more stress
walking around town? hmm honestly, i've always been a girl with relatively low self esteem. if i walk around town and see all those pretty girls, i'll probably feel super lousy about myself and i dun see how that helps.
running? seems like a good idea. but then again, as much as i love to run, my knees probably wont be able to take too much of it.
swimming? yeah guess this is the best thing to do.. but as everything, the bad side is i wont be able to do it very regularly..
gah! why is this world so complicated?!
okay maybe i'm the complicated one..
when lionel asked us to share about our tell tale signs, the first thing i thought abt was not about how i can relieve my own stress, but more of listen to what are the tell tale signs for my classmates.
the first thought that hit me was "okay i must listen so that i can know when they are stressed and help them out"
am i abnormal?
does everyone think like that?
or is this just me being who i am?
stress.
the monster that tears ppl apart and leave them hanging.
