Stress

I am a worrier. I always have been. When i was growing up i worried about school, friends, enemies, everything. As i got older i added work and men into the mix. Now at a ripe old age of 26 all i do is stress out about everything. I stress about our house, our jobs, families. When i am at work im stressed about work. when im home, im stressed. I just never can relax. Finally all this stressing and being on edge has caught up with me. A few fridays ago i had finished an extremely stressful week @ work. I woke up on saturday and my jaw hurt. I really didnt think much of it and kind of just ignored it and hoped it would go away ( like i tend to do). The next week at work was even worse and home was getting the better half of me. At this point my jaw is feeling worse. i couldnt chew, yawn, brush my teeth, anything, with out being in excruciating pain. I made an appointment with the dentist and it turns out i have TMJ caused by stress! AWESOME! his remedy 'take a vacation'. Which honestly i could use and sounds delightful, but even on vacation i stress about being in a new place and getting everything i want to done. Last night i tried to just shut my brain off when i went to sleep, but ive had so much on my mind thats really just impossible. Work has not been stressful at all this week so that helps. I just need to learn to relax, not let everything get to me so much, and how to just let things happen.
