Melva: "....and my actual 9-5 which causes me serious stress"

See the positive part, you have a job, maybe you are not completely happy with it, but it pays bills, and let you time to build your bussines online. That is a good thing.

Keep your head strong¡

Hey Melva, this is not easy journey especially when we have our personal lives to deal with. I feel you. Hang in there because in the end it's all worth it, even the struggles. All the best.

Hi Melva, I am so glad you feel you can come here and vent, because we all need to be able to do that at times. And you are in a community where at least most all of us can relate and understand. First I am going to recommend that you visit a WA members website - http://panicattacksbuster.com/. Hilda has some excellent tips on her site for dealing with stress that might actually help you. I know an epsom salts bath with about 10 drops of lavender oil might help you relax at night and will help detox your body from the negative chemicals the stress is releasing in your body. I would suggest you find a scripture that helps you and just keep it on the tip of your tongue. Remember not to worry about tomorrow and take today one step at a time. God's Blessings, Christa

Hi Melva.I have only started putting my website first and I got more new things on it today.Up to this period I found I was blogging here all the time but that was not getting anything done,now I have caught a hold of myself and it is now my priority.It,s all right to vent or get annoyed every now and again and it must be hard to hold down a 9-5 job and look after family and then spend time here.I do not have the answer,the only thing I will say do not burn yourself out.Lean on your family and lean on people.

I look at my website as a hobby. I intend for it to earn income, and I'm not approaching it as a hobby from the standpoint of how much time or effort I invest in it, but what I mean is, it's a creative outlet for me and even though it's work, it's fun. I'm 'lucky' enough not to have a job so I have extra time to dedicate, but maybe instead of letting your site stress you out, approach it as an outlet for you to express yourself so that it's not work, it's an hour a day that you get to relax and do what you want to do. Don't put yourself on a schedule and make it tedious, work on it when you can, and when you work on it, give it your all.

Thank you all for the wonderful words of encouragement and yes funmine he does! Good luck and best wishes-Melva

You are not alone in feeling this. You will get through this, just keep telling yourself that. Those times of hardship and struggle are the times that you grow the most, and you must keep telling yourself over and over that you will come out a better stronger person. It is up to you. Best wishes.

Just do what you can, when you can and everything will fall into place.

Nice that you feel as you do about this place and the community

I'm with you, Melva! He makes all things beautiful in His time. Only the grace of God can see us through the difficult times.

Be encouraged.
