Stress!

Hello,

So it's been a couple of months since I last posted on here... It feels like when life gets stressful or just too much is happening I tend to stop writing. It wasn't unit today and reminding myself that when I'm down and not feeling so great I go to YouTube and /or any of the blogs I follow and it makes me feel better. Also I know that writing down how I feel helps too.

So here it goes...

First off I moved, which is great, it's what I wanted to do but it's been stressful. Getting everything you own together and moving it all and then unpacking everything (I mean it's a lot!) Then around the same time I moved up in my job (temporally) which is also great but works been very stressful as well. I've been given much more responsibly and not a lot a time to complete tasks. Don't get me wrong I love what I'm doing but it just feels like a lot. And of course there is the wedding planning for my friend which is coming up fast. It also seems like a lot of the time to plan for the wedding is around my work and I have to keep changing my schedule.

I just feel overwhelmed and it's scary. I'm normally a very organized person and I just take things one step at a time but it just feels like too much. I know I'm not alone when it comes to feeling this way and there are people out there who are worse off than me. It's a horrible thing to go through.

I'm trying to think of ways to feel calmer, more relaxed. (If you know of any let me know). At night is the worst for me, it's then I tend to think of everything I have to do and the things not going right. For me I find that reading before bed is a good way to think of something else and then when you go to sleep I find myself thinking about the book and not the next day. Another thing I try and do is take a walk outside. Getting some fresh air and exercise has always been a way to relax for me; I just need to get out more! 

I've also been thinking about the name I chose for this blog. At the time I was younger and was just trying to think of anything really. But now that I think of it, it seems a little silly. Things in life aren't always pretty. You get ups and downs; it's what makes life, life! I don't think you would appreciate the good in life as much if there weren’t any hardships.

Again, I'm not saying my life is horrible because it isn't. I have a loving boyfriend who has been there for me for 5 years, a wonderful cat, family. Just sometimes things add up that aren't great and we all need a little help.

This is a blog about my life and what I'm going through, I know this post is a little rambly and long but I just thought I can't be the only one in this. People feel like this a lot and knowing you’re not alone in this is just as helpful.
