Tell me about what's currently got you stressed?

[TinfoilStar]

Me: I have to move in two weeks and have no money and haven't found a suitable place to live. My ex boyfriend(who I am living with right now) is being a bastard and playing mind games with me. My family is currently losing a friend to cancer...she will probably be dead before Christmas day.

You?

[Burns]

I'm sorry to hear that, TinfoilStar :( I hope things start turning around for you soon.


I'm not really "stressed" about anything per se, but I still have a lot of Christmas shopping and wrapping to do. Tis the season to procrastinate!

[Kushna Mufeed]

The day after getting into a fight with a friend of mine I hadn't seen for a while, the said friend got arrested. I've heard rumors that his friends think I snitched on him. About what? I have no fucking clue, but I'm keeping a rusty exacto-knife on me for the time being. That's the kind of people these are.

[Grod]

Exams.

I also made a deal that I think unfortunately will turn very unprofitable.

Of course these both sound petty compared to yours.

[Xox]

Three tests I have tonmorow.

How I got a zero on an exam my teacher unfairingly made me take after I came back from being ill.

My parents, but that's always the case.

How Im wasting the whole year away in education.

How Im taking every classs I took last year over again this year because of school changes. (And yes I passed those classes)

Anyway, this felt great to let out..somehow.

[/rant]

Glad to hear it. Bringing it out into the open does wonders for stress...most of the time.

Me? Right now? hmmm...

-Trying to rebuild my life after recovering from depression and other issues
-Getting registered for some courses in January without letting the above things interfere.
-Establishing some set of good terms with my family and not have it be me vs. my parents and brother...making a healthy dynamic.
-Adjusting to a new sleep schedule.

Term Paper
Precalc test on Thursday

[kichu]

My big stress of the year has been replaced with grief. But trying to look at the bright side! I love my new downtown apartment and awesome boyfriend, so that helps.

PS - Term Paper
Precalc test on Thursday Ewwwww.......

[ThePhobiaViewed]

PS - Ewwwww.......

Yes and I can't find my notecards, luckily we only had to do a couple to show that we could and then we could just highlight on our printouts. I'm thankful that the precalc test is now thursday. My evil teacher had it scheduled for last period on friday, the last day before break.

Good luck!

Thanks, I just got my rough draft done. I had my mom proofread and she did it in like 3 minutes and found no mistakes, then I had my older brother proof it and he completely mandled it and made me change like every other sentence. I was worried that I wouldn't get it all done in time because we have to get each step ok'd by the teacher but his mother died on sunday so instead of being able to get them checked during the day and fixing them at night, he is picking them up after school and we get them the next day. To hand it in early you have to hand your rough draft in tomorrow so you can get it back thursday to fix and hand the final in friday for 10 bonus points.

Again I procrastinate in quite a skilled manner and finish in the nick of time:D

I've been out since the 10th from school, so I just started my homework. Yuck. Gotta get that all done before January 3rd!

I also have to memorize at least 90% of my lines before the 3rd, too! :(

So MUCH!

[TamiDoll]

Nothing ATM. Even though the dirty house is beckoning my name... :?

Lines for what?

[Siиdяed]

Mock AS-level exams when I get back from Christmas holidays. Woo! :)

[Mad Chemist]

I lost my school ID for the third time. Blaaaah. Now I have to pay $45 (three times the normal fee) to get a new one.

[whyhelloheart]

Lines for what?

Sorry for the late response!
Lines for the show that I'll be starting in January.
I'm sure you've heard of it before! Once Upon a Mattress
It should be exciting.... if I could ever get the lines down! Jesus :?

You?

I have a mock exam in februry, and I my college group are all better than me (but for one). :(

[Siиdяed]

You have just the one mock exam, Jdea? Disgraceful. I have four mock subjects and one real one.

Eat that for stress. :)

And I'm trying to get over this girl... but I'm not sure I want to get over her :(.
Maybe?

I hope things get much better for you soon TinfoilStar,

[cuddleyperson]

mock As exams in jan/feb.. where the hell do you go for college.:D

( we did a few mocks a few weeks ago)

My college and all the colleges i know of have the REAL AS exams in january. I have four exams from jan 9-15, in Maths, chem, bio and history.

They are each worth 30% of my AS grade, and 15% of my A-level( if i continue the subject).

( some may be 40%As and 20% A-level)

I'm not way stressed, though i am aiming for As in both the sciences. Then hopefully a B in history and a C in maths( not so hot at maths).

The only exam that has me kinda stressed is maths. But i think i will manage a C since in the mock we did i was able to get one.

[Siиdяed]

All of my subjects (History, Theatre Studies, English Lit., Religious Studies) are just mocks in January, we do the real things in Summer.

[Jdeadevil]

I don't know when I do the the real thing.

[Adam]

I rarely get stressed, I don't know why... More pressured I would say, but I enjoy pressure as it keeps you going. But stress... Nope...

[cuddleyperson]

All of my subjects (History, Theatre Studies, English Lit., Religious Studies) are just mocks in January, we do the real things in Summer.


how very odd, i wonder how you get the other half of your As level ( are you talking As or GCSEs?). I mean i have myt real ones now and my other real ones in summer, for one needs to do two exams and coursework in order to get an As.

These exams in scicne for example are on foundation in January( Foundation contains a couple of different topics)

Then in summer the exams are on some different module.

Also Adam i am the same always very calm, i'd call it, oh i havbe exams coming up i need to do well. But not stress over it, i'll try and what ever i get is ok.

[Siиdяed]

I'm talking As.

I just do exams when I'm told, cudd. :)

Sit down and ask no questions.

[LucidDreamGod]

I'm always majorly stressed about the future, about graduating from highschool (not hard for me, but stressful to move on), I'm stressed about learning to drive, about getting a job, and doing it right, and just getting by in the world without panic attacks.

[Jdeadevil]

Sindred, lol

Urgh, me too. I have no idea what I'm going to do after sixth form at all. No idea what university to go to, what job to do...nothing.

Getting by without breaking down is pretty much what I does. :)

Sindred, lol

:?

Is something the matter, Jdea? Sorry, unsure if you're laughing with me, or saying that I stress you.

Perhaps we can talk about this if it's a problem. You know me, always happy to help. :)

[Jdeadevil]

I just did private messaged you. You ignored me!

[Siиdяed]

Perhaps there's been a problem with the forum. I'll check again. :?

[Jdeadevil]

I mean ignored by meaning, you just thought "tl;dr" and decided to comment on the last paragraph. Anyway, I shoudn't bothor with you. You're still a three year old.

[Siиdяed]

A three year old taking his mock As exams in January.

Sindred, boy genius? It's possible. ;)

Money: see lack, thereof.

-Wisdom teeth coming out ($1427)
-Further dental work (several more $100s)
-Just sent in a deposit on a year-long teaching position in Russia (yeah, but $275)
-Thinking about raising the rest of the money by July ($12,000)
-Student loan payments ($260/month)

Thanks, life. You're really swell.

Other than that, I'm great!

Why did your wisdom teeth have to be removed Ame?

And by the rest of the money do you mean money to live on in Russia? Are you not paid in the year teaching position at all, i'm sure living costs are low their.( well lower)

[LucidDreamGod]

-Wisdom teeth coming out ($1427)

Since when did getting teeth pulled cost so much money :P.

[M-Cat]

Well there was no room in my mouth for my other teeth. It was really crowded, so they removed them for space.

As for your other questions, i don't live in Russia.

[Amethyst Star]

M-Cat, stop butting in.

LOL!! Welcome to adulthood!

I'll probably get used to it... in about ten years or so.

Why did your wisdom teeth have to be removed Ame?

And by the rest of the money do you mean money to live on in Russia? Are you not paid in the year teaching position at all, i'm sure living costs are low their.( well lower)

My top two wisdom teeth have a tendency to go in and out, and with one in particular, when they come back out, they come out sideways and I end up chewing on the inside of my cheek for a few days. Not fun. As for the bottom ones, it's better to have them out now, rather than have there be a potential problem in the future. And the anesthesia alone is going to be $435 :? ....Maybe I should consider... Ugh! I really don't want to be awake for it :(

As for going to Russia, I'm going with a non-profit organization, so I have to pay for the training (I have basically no teaching experience), the airfare, and other miscellaneous expenses. I will get a stipend for working there, but it will basically cover my basic living needs (food, housing).

I'm tired of worrying about it, though. If it's meant to happen, it'll happen!

[Grod]

Why my new headset isn't working... :?

[CoLd BlooDed]

The only thing stressing me out right now is what the hell is going down for New Years!

[Man of Steel]

Are you sure you really want to know?


Okay, I'll give you the short version:

About eleven years ago, my parents went bankrupt and were forced to give up our home and property. So that we would have a place to live, my uncle gave us an acre and a third of his land for us to put a mobile home on. The area of land we all live on had originally belonged to our family for ages and ages, upwards of a hundred acres. It extends back off the road about a half-mile, and we have two neighboring families that live on bits of the land that were parted with over the years. My father had owned 22.66 acres, until he had to file bankruptcy. My uncle owned another 22.66 acres, and my aunt another few acres, and the neighbors the rest.

Anyway, my uncle had 1 1/3 acres plotted out and surveyed off for us to put our home on. We cleared the land, moved the mobile home in, and all that. The land was given to my father, but there was never a separate deed drawn up, as there was no need to. It was an agreement among family. My uncle was the most stolid, fair, trustworthy man I have ever known, and likely ever will know. All was well until 2003, when my uncle contracted cancer. My uncle had already made known that he was leaving his house and land to my older brother by this time. On one condition, though: it is never to be sold, mortgaged, or otherwise leave the family.

My uncle was in and out of the hospital frequently by now, and decided it would be best to go ahead and have his property put in my brother's name while he was still of sound mind, as he had brain tumors. My brother was supposed to have a new deed written up, to exclude the land my uncle had given my father. Instead, he just had the existing deed copied, into his name. He was supposed to go back and change it, but he never did. As my uncle's health faltered more and more, my brother and his wife eventually moved in with him to help him out.

Well, a month or so passed, and my uncle continued to grow more and more sick, and eventually agreed to move into hospice care. He died the next day. This was mere days before his birthday, in November. My brother's wife immediately started changing my uncle's house to suit her likings. The night after the funeral, they were ripping up the living room carpet. Now jump ahead a year. For various reasons that I won't go into here, as this is going to be long enough as it is, my brother and his wife have had a falling-out of sorts with my parents, specifically my mother.

My sister is siding with him, and now won't talk to us either, having reasons of her own as well. All of it utter bullshit. My sister-in-law gives birth to a son. Around this time, my mother fell out of our front door, breaking/spraining both of her feet and chipping her jaw. Despite numerous phone calls to my brother, who lives only 100 yards away as the crow flies, he couldn't care less. It is left to me and my blind father to take care of her. For two weeks she cannot move from the foldout bed in the living room, and all she can eat is scrambled eggs and soup.

My brother makes no attempt to help whatsoever, but at least my sister does start speaking to us again, but it doesn't last long. She has kids, and it kills my mother not to be able to see her grandchildren. Jump ahead another year. My brother announces that he is going to sell the land and move to Canada, to be with his wife's family in Ontario. He only tells me this, though, as he is still not speaking to my parents. Still not having told my parents, he puts up a For Sale sign at the end of the driveway.

Come to find out, though, he never did fix the deed, and is in fact trying to sell OUR land and home as well. As if that is not enough, when we protest, his wife files an eviction notice against us, trying to have us evicted from our own home, that we own. Not only that, but she lies on the paperwork, claiming we could not be found to tell in person, so it had to be done through paperwork. Even though we rarely leave home and live right behind their house. [O_o] We now have to get a lawyer, to counter this to prevent being kicked out of our own home. Meanwhile, the land is still for sale, so we have to file a counter-claim, asserting that all the land my brother is trying to sell is not, in fact, his to sell.

This stays locked up in court until earlier this year, when my brother pulls a fast one, or tries to, by filing a lawsuit that goes behind our backs by putting a notice in the local paper, which he knows we do not get, that would have, through some form of sneaky legality, allowed him to continue with the selling of the land if we did not respond within a certain period of time. Again, he had to lie and say that we could not be contacted in order to file this. Luckily, my aunt found the notice in time. Then, just being greedy apparently, my brother illegally took out a $75,000 loan on the property, which he shouldn't have been able to do with a lawsuit in progress, but the loan company didn't do a title check.

At this point, it is still locked in court, and my brother has committed perjury so many times that it's pathetic.

And that's just the short version. I left out lots. Of only one of the things that is currently got me stressed. Not to mention that my sister (who finally started talking to us again) called my mother at nine o'clock in the morning one day week before last and asked my mother did she know what I did online at night, then proceeded to call me a pervert and say she no longer wanted her kids around me. Based only on posts I've made here on Dream Views. Apparently she couldn't remember my email address, so instead of calling me to ask, she typed my email address into Google to find it. No, really. That's actually what she told my mother. That's how she found Dream Views.

Needless to say, my mother called me, as I was staying at my other sister's for a few days, and wanted to know what she was talking about. I had no clue. So I told her how to get here to DV and look up my posts. She did so, and could find nothing like what my sister accused me of. What's worse, I'm sure my sister will find this and be pissed as hell too, as I'm pretty sure she's still siding with my brother, after all that has happened. Hey, Tab, if you're reading this, thanks for being such a great sister and daughter. I want to tell you to go rot in hell, but I don't believe in hell, and I'm just not like that, anyway.

And that's not even all the family problems. Not to mention the usual things, like I'm supposed to be bringing in enough money to make up for the portion of my father's Social Security/Disability check that we'll be losing when the school year ends, and I haven't even got my forge set up yet. I'm going to have to go out and get a job, and I know it, but I don't want to admit it. Then there's my total lack of a social life, except for you guys and gals on DV.

So yeah, I'm actually a lot more stressed than I realized. I tend to hold all this crap in. Thanks for letting me rant here, I think I needed it. Sorry you had to read all that (if you indeed did).

And if your sister does find this, you may be largely fueled by hormones, but to me, you've been nothing but a gentleman. Let me know if you ever want to talk. My parents had a slightly less severe, but similar experience with my uncle in our last house.

[Clairity]

Josh (aka MoS), I am so sorry you're going through all that.. it just goes to show that you never know what's happening in someone's life. :(

I wish only the best for you and your family and I pray that things turn out as they should.

:hug:

Woah, just read that brick MoS :shock:. I can't really relate to any of that, but I'm a great listener, so feel free to chat up with me if there's anything you want to get off your chest.

[Mes Tarrant]

Omg MoS, wow, you're such an awesome, lighthearted, funny kind of guy... you did a spectacular job holding all this stuff in. :? I feel really bad about not knowing any of this before or even asking about stuff. You are so mature and responsible.. I know that things will get much better for you, just hang in there, and you always have us for support. :)

[Man of Steel]

First of all, wow. :thanks: Thanks, you awesome people you. This is why I come to DV. Because you guys (and girls, of course) are the best folks around. I really didn't expect all these responses, I just decided it was about time I had a good vent and typed all that crap out. You really just don't know how much I appreciate all these replies. Last night, after typing all that out, I was kinda in a cruddy mood, yet relieved to have it out at the same time. Then I came back to the thread and read Amé's, Clairity's, Spart's and Mes's replies, and it really drastically improved my mood, hugely. I would have responded sooner, but I really didn't know what to say. Y'all are just too great. :)

Aw... *scuffs feet*

Thanks, Mes. You're pretty awesome yourself, you know. :loveyou: And don't feel bad, you had no way of knowing to ask. :)

Oh, while I'm here... *pats pockets* Oops, forgot something... :hrm: I'll ask you later, I guess. :smitten:

Yup, DV is a huge part of my life these days. This site helps me maintain what little sanity I have remaining. :movingmrgreen:

I'm wuv'd! I wuv you too, Sin. Oddly enough, I'm not even kidding. o_O But you really don't want me to start ranting. Not even a controlled rant. I might inadvertently break the servers. :paranoid: :parapet:
