I'm not sad in particular but not really happy.... Just feel blah. You know what I mean? My parents are having financial problems I'm helping as much as possible and trying to finish college (only 6 more months) my horses are all working awesome (lol) I have a serious boyfriend. Not everything is perfect by far but it's all looking up. My parents will be doing good in a couple of months after my mom having some serious health problems (6 major surgeries) but somehow we made it thru it all. But I am feeling so anxious all the time like something is just going to fall apart. Sometimes I find myself so stressed my neck starts to feel like there's knots in it and I can't focus on a conversation. Any advice? Maybe I just needed to vent.

Well that is a lot to go thru 6 surgeries with your mom! My blah is from the weather! I can deal with the cold but the wet and cold gets me. but I am like this every year this time around. it starts end of Nov and all the way thru Dec. My blah is starting to go away. This is getting harder and harder every year! It has nothing to do with the holidays. It just really slows my riding down a bunch! That is my stress reliever!!! Hang in there! :))

Maybe it is the weather. I've been bundling up and riding anyways just to clear my head. Yeah I think all her health problems have really affected me. It all started about a month before I graduated high school and hopefully we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel now 4 years later. I think it has just almost been too much stress and pressure at times.

Take one day at a time. Focus on the little positives. Find your inner strength and push through. Pray.
I personally like to focus on what I am working toward. Ya know? I set a goal, lay out the baby steps to accomplish it, and go for it! You are so close to finishing college, maybe focus on that? The last semester is always a good one to start finding a job and looking toward new beginnings!

Thank you guys! I woke up today feeling a lot better. I think I just needed to tell someone to talk it out (or type it out haha) and I don't want to add anymore stress to anyone around me. I think I need to focus on what I am achieving and stop being hard on myself. I work go to nursing school and get my horses worked and sometimes I still feel like I'm not doing enough and not moving forward not sure why I have to be that hard on myself?!
Very OT but do you ever feel just lost??
