Right now, everything is getting to me. He wanted to know how I managed stress especially when everything is getting to me. The fact that I still haven't provided an answer means I am still dealing with it.
As I type this, my body aches, and my eyelids are shutting down. I just want to roll over and sleep all day without freaking out.

Managing stress is not something I have learned to do. It's something I am still dealing with. Every day when I wake up to pains, I know exactly what my body needs but I ignore her. It's more like reminding her, it's better to pay now and play later than to play now and pay later. She knows it's the truth. I am not sure she would want to sleep her life away and wake up to a life of misery, poverty, and bitterness.
So she will agree that we should try to work out a routine that gives her small sleep, enough to get her working the next day instead of giving her everything, every time she needs it.
As it stands, I dread opening my tabs to work on my part of the LeoGlossary because I am too stressed to consume a bulk of information. Every time, I remember I have passed the deadline and that doesn't speak well of me, I want to run off and hide.

I don't know how to manage stress, I am not sure I have tried. I just kept going with the beat my workload plays for me. And it's almost always exciting taking up newer challenges and then realizing down the line that you have a lot on your plate. More than you can handle if I must add.
But what are we supposed to do? As long as Eve ate the Apple, this is what we get, suffering, more suffering, and more suffering.. lol. We can only try to suffer less by doing all that we can to create comfortable lives for ourselves and our loved ones. And this comfortable lifestyle will come with sacrifices. My sacrifice is sleeping less and less and less until my eyeballs hurt and my bones ache everywhere as it is doing now.
The electricity I am currently enjoying, with my ceiling fan blowing at the highest frequency is so enticing and seducing that I could drop this phone and snooze. But hold up a second, I'll have nightmares in the middle of the day.
Yes, that's right. Stress does that to me. Especially if I have a task I haven't been able to bring myself to finish. Truthfully, this post gave me nightmares. Knowing that I am yet to write it, my friend is waiting at the other end for it, I did not want to disappoint him and my body is screaming, I want more sleep gave me goosebumps and nightmares.
Here we are. I wrote it. But my stressful feeling remains unresolved. I think I will give her the much-needed sleep this week. I am not promising her, only, she will get it in bits and pieces. And I have concluded that Learning to manage stress is not my thing
