Having the same old issues, stress out of hand causing the digestive issues.  So very tired of dealing with all of this.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Annie,

Vent away if it helps let off some steam and know we are here to support you.  I feel like I am in the same boat as you right now as I have been having some big bumps in the road which are kicking my anxiety up and how I hate this.  Together we will battle on.

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt

I came here to vent about the same thing! I woke up and had a sick stomach in every way you can have a sick stomach. It's miserable, isn't it? By the time I could get to my computer, find this site, and sign up for it, I started to feel a bit better. I hope you have, too.

Thank goodness for this forum.  I am convinced that the stress and anxiety are giving me IBS.  I am to the point that I feel like I can't take anymore.

I have so much to do before Christmas and whenever I waant to start my work, my husband expects me to go do this or that with him.  He won't help me around the house at all. I will say he isn't well.  He is a diabettic, but he expects to be waited on hand and foot not matter how tired I am.  I am not a young woman anymore.  I have a daughter and two grown granddaughters who expect me to do all  of the cooking and preparing for Christmas.  They will show up in time to eat and then leave as soon as the can without being rude.  My stomach is cramping, I have to run to the bathroom, I am just a total mess.  I have asked for help around the house from my hubby but he just won't do anything.  I'm sorry, but it was type this post or scream.   Wish I could just run away.

Oh AA, this is not what Christmas is supposed to feel like right? I too get sweapt up in the stress sometimes. It seems that most of the 'Holiday Magic' is all up to us (moms) hugh?

My daughter has been opening her advent calendar and announcing the 'count down' all this month...it has been like the 'bells tolling' for me, Lol! I am finally done with the shopping/wrapping, and can now be excited with her, but I know the feeling that you are describing.

Could I suggest that you get a little tough on those who would like to eat on Christmas? Make a list, and give these family members jobs to do. If cooking isn't their thing, then put them on shopping duty/prep work/clean-up, ect.

We divide all of the meal making among my sisters and mom...if you want to eat, you don't show up empty handed!

Or better yet, consider take-out or a restaurant...when they realize that they miss the home cooking, perhaps they will put in their share of the effort! You know the old saying...'No one can take advantage of you without your permission'

I wish for you rest and peace these next few days. I hope that your digestive system starts behaving itself too! Try to carve out some you-time, and just relax and revive okay?

Many hugs,
S.C.

Thanks Scaredy Cat, I have told them that I am to the place that I can no longer handle things.  It seems to go in one ear and out the other. I also know that I can't be taken advantage of without my letting them do so.  I guess I just want things to be nice and should realize that I do it or no one will.  None of them like to cook, so that is one problem.  I will just try and cope the best I can.  It was good to get everything off my chest.  I have no one to talk to here so you guys get to listen to me.

Thanks again for your time and responces.

Merry Christmas

Annie

anxious annie, I feel your pain. This time of the year is the worst for me. My husband works but basically does nothing inside the house either and I end up doing all of the holiday shopping, cooking, wrapping ect.. I have come to dread Christmas and can't wait for it to be over. I feel sick today and went to the grocery store and had a near panic attack, i felt it coming but I talked myself out of it somehow.

Let's just try to take it minute by minute and day by day and we will get through this!! Best of Luck to you!

Hi Tinlou,

Sorry you are also having a bad time.  I got through the day before preparations in the kitchen but I was so tired and worn out that I had to lay down and rest for a while before I start in again.  My daughter was supossed to be here to help me but she arrived at the time I was finishing up my last dish for tomorrow.  I just kept telling myself to keep on going until all was finished.  I told her to be here early tomorrow morning but I won't hold my breath.

Just have to get my table leaves in and go over the floor and I am done for the day.  Want to go to church tonight, hope I am not too tired.  I too will be glad when its all over.  Don't know how much more stress and anxiety I can handle.

Try and have a Merry Christmas,

Annie

Annie, your daughter sound like mine. She was suppose to come over and help me bake yesterday but decided to go shopping and ended up coming pretty late and needless to say I was annoyed and i just tried to keep my cool. Once I get upset then my stomach acts up and then it is a big mess!

It will all be over soon enough but until then try and have a Merry Christmas!
Tina

Sounds like you have the same physical symptoms as me.  Stress/anxiety= digestive disorders, no fun.  We can make it one more day, we will just pray for strength to get through the day.

Christmas Blessings to you,

Annie

anxious annie: Hoping that you had a good Christmas Day, I think we both made it through without any real problems. I think I was too busy to even think about my anxiety for even one second, that is always a good thing.
Best Wishes,
Tina

Yes Tina, I got through the day just fine.  Thanks for asking.  I was so busy that I too forgot about the things that worry me to death and wasn't a bit anxious; however, when everyone left and I sat down to colapse, my mind started to race and my tummy started to hurt.  Proves the the mind rules the body.

Annie
