The average person gets stress about everything. They get stressed about work, about school, about finances, or even about life, and as a result they get sick. When you have Crohn's, those stresses multiply and make you even more sick. Someone getting mad at you, waiting for important mail, or the stress from nonstop activities like shopping, work, and school. There is no break for someone like me, and when I get sick, I get stressed. And when I get stressed, my body shuts down.
I wish there was a way to say, "Oh its not that bad, I am used to it." But there isn't. I can never predict how each circumstance will affect me, and while sometimes its not that bad, other times my life comes to a stand still.
I am telling you all of this because recently I was sick, and for some reason I have been getting stressed on top of that. It is the end of my senior year in high school, my dad is stressed about who knows what, and my life seems to be going nonstop with no breathing room. I just had spring break, and unlike I planned, it was filled with nonstop activities. I was hoping to have a few days to just relax and be a bum. Well bum-dom will just have to wait. This past week I worked, I ran errands, I got sick...and this whole time left me for no "me time." (Who wants "me time" because they are sick?)
Anyways, long story short, for those of you out there who get stressed often and are nonstop moving, stop. Take time for yourself and relax. Let yourself live instead of motoring past. If you do, then stress, will be a question with the wind. And hopefully, you will feel healthier and happier with less stress.
Each day is precious
Each day is valuable
But letting stress rule will end us all.
Slow down
Smell the roses
And realize the precious things you have.
