Over Stressed


Myfatherskeeper

461 views

Ok, I haven't been to sleep in over 24 hours, I just CANT fall asleep.

The stress of everything in my life, is crazy........

The City that my husband works for, over 19 years, is on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. We need to decide, should he stay, in hopes that it gets better over the next few years. Or should he get out now, why he hopefully has a few years left to establish himself somewhere else?

He has a 13 year old son that lives in the area we live in.....

We could try to stay here and him find employment elsewhere, but it's a really repressed area, so not sure how easy that would be. We could go to FL and live at my dads and continue his care from there, which would make my father really happy! Then there is the subject of my stepson again, leaving him here with his mother and being so far away... And the general fear of change.

Last night I laid in bed for 6.5 hours AWAKE and went over all of this in my head, forward and backwards and still haven't come any closer in what MIGHT be the right thing to do.

On top of all that, the nightmare thoughts of what the month in FL with may dad my be like.......

I sorta already know, no matter what he says from here, getting him to come back will be a task.

 

So from today forward, I will put it in God's hands....

"If he bring you to IT, He'll bring you through IT!"

 

No I wont, I'll stress like CRAZY, LOL, cause that's just ME!

You are certainly being placed in situations that are life altering. Be sure and care for yourself or you'll be of no use to anyone. I always heard and repeated it myself to others and myself that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. I do think though there are times when He "pushes the button" like laying on a doorbell. Since my stroke - I try to "Let go, Let God". I'll pray that all goes well for you and your family.

I am a firm believer in:

 

If He brings you to it He will bring you to it

 

I still stress as well.

 

I think that you taking your dad to Florida is a great idea.

 

While you are there look into help for him from a local church township etc.

 

In the end it may suprise how well it will work out.

 

Stay positive.
