    Default What are you stressed about???

    REALLY?
    I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, I am a stay at home mom who NEVER gets any time off, I had to take my children with me to the dentist yesterday because we don't have a babysitter, I weaned myself off Prozac because of the wicked weight gain, I'm now eating less than 1400 calories a day to try to lose the Prozac weight. Don't even get me started on the fact that DH and I are having a HUGE difference of opinion that effects me every single day.

    The dentist says my tooth pain is caused by my grinding my teeth, and that is caused by stress.

    DH says, "what are you stressed about?"



    ETA: SO sorry, this is clearly not a bargain, but a BP.

    I totally understand.

    DH can't understand why I don't want to have sex.... Um... I would MUCH rather get that extra 15 minutes of sleep. I'm exhausted, it's been a long winter, I have an 8 month old who is trying desperately to walk. The 4 year old won't.shut.up.

    "But, you're on prozac... why are you unhappy? What if you got up earlier and exercised?" Really? REALLY? REALLLLY?

    Thanks for commiserating....yeah I totally spaced and posted in the wrong forum. It was definitely meant for the BP but I guess the bargain alert is just too familiar for me!

    Sorry DH was a bonehead I think my DH knows if he even tried to say that to me he would get a 15 minute tirade about exactly what I am stressed about!

    Melaine, I think that you posting this to the bargains forum was a subconscious expression of a need for retail therapy

    Sorry to hear that your (right now not so D)H has misplaced his ability to be empathic.

    I'm sorry things are rough right now and DH is not being more caring. I know you posted about the girls in childcare at the Y, can you utilize that more? Or maybe do a date night childcare swap with another couple so you and DH can have some decompress time?

    Hang in there.... I'm just a phone call away if you need someone.

    Have you considered a night guard for your teeth? I'm not kidding -- my dentist was on my case for YEARS about grinding and I finally got one. OMG. Seriously. It has changed my life. I sleep soooo much better now!

    I have an equally clueless DH. So I can totally relate.

    Time for him to take the girls for a weekend while you go away! Since it is nothing to be stressed about. Right?

    Sorry he is clueless.

    I have been clenching/grinding my teeth at night again, too. Ugh.

    DH recently suggested I go off the Zoloft due to weight gain. I don't think he had a head left when I was done with him.

    Staying home with kids is one of the most stressful things I have ever done. Seriously. That alone is enough to stress you out big time. Sorry your H is being a jerk about your stress. Hope you can find some peace and get a break soon.
