MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Stressy
I was going to use the word Stressful but I’ve used that word multiple times before and if I’m honest, it’s not exactly true. Although life has been stressful, in a personal way I’m finding myself feeling worried and nervous and the word stressy, covers this. I’m getting worked up over the slightest thing.
The thing most making me stressy is The Little Man’s return to school. I don’t want him to go back to that school, but he does. So, I guess that we have to give it a chance, it’s his ONLY chance of a school place for now. How ridiculous is that!!
I’m also feeling stressy about Star, her health is not good and her mental health even worse. I think she’s hitting that awkward teenager phase a little late. Puberty hit a couple of years ago but it’s only now that she’s rebelling big time. Thankfully, she’s not been to awful towards me, but she’s definitely not co-operating like she used to. She’s getting caught up in online dramas with her friends and her boyfriend is no help. I’m really worried about her.
There are lots of other stresses in my life but I’m trying my best to be mindful and live in the moment. We can do this, I’m pushing forward!
I’m sorry you’re feeling stressy at the moment. I’m not surprised that you’re feeling concerned about Little Man’s return to school given the history with that school. I’m sorry to hear that Star is struggling at the moment too with her health and mental health. Really hope that things improve for her soon. Hugs x
Stressy does sound like a good word to use.
I feel so sad for your Little Man that he has to go back to that school. It is quite ridiculous!
Oh no! I do feel for you with Star hitting that awkward teenager phase. Becky, my eldest went through it and Ellie has been going through it over the last year. Keep telling yourself it’s just a phase and hang on in there. Send me love and hugs. x
I really enjoyed your “Word of the Week” post on “Stressy.” It’s an apt term to describe those moments of feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Your insights into managing stress and finding balance were helpful reminders. It’s important to prioritize self-care and implement strategies to reduce stress levels. Thanks for sharing this timely and relatable post.
Stressy is definitely how I would feel too with what’s going on with your Little man and Star. The teenage years are tricky but thankfully they do pass (just not fast enough sometimes!) Sending love and warm hugs xx
Aw, I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling stressy! I find that when I start to feel like that it is often my kids at the cause of it all; not that they do that intentionally but it sure can be a real struggle to be a parent at times.
