Thread: Tell me about what's currently got you stressed?

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

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...

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.

I'm talking As.

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

Sit down and ask no questions.

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.

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.

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.

I just did private messaged you. You ignored me!

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

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.

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!

I don't want to leave school, Ame. Life looks expensive.

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)

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.

M-Cat, stop butting in.

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

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!

Why my new headset isn't working...

2 hours and no luck

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

Are you sure you really want to know?


Okay, I'll give you the short version:

Spoiler for Read at your own risk:

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).
