When stressed, your blood pressure rises and you possibly lose your cool. People step back and say WHOA! They realize that something is going on and possibly needs fixing. Logic would say that when stressed and pregnant, you might get the same respect if not more, right? WRONG!! I can understand why when you are stressed and pregnant, some would not take you seriously. A pregnant woman can make herself upset over a cereal box, so it can be kinda funny. This does not mean that when it is a more serious matter than a cereal box to continue laughing. That will actually make the matter worse and stress out the pregnant woman more. I have to say my favorite experience is to have the person stressing me out tell me to calm down because stress isn't good for the baby. That one almost sent me to the hospital. Thankfully, a few hours' repreive calmed me down. Some of you might say get rid of what is causing you stress so you don't have to be stressed in the first place. My response is to laugh and you and say look at my current life.
My current life involves a complete remodel of my home that was supposed to be done months ago. For those of you who know my house, it is not the entire house. Only the downstairs, which is my home. Because of said remodel, I am now living in a small room filled with other people's junk. In this crammed junk room, we have to fit two people and two dogs. People and dogs come with basic neccessities. This wouldn't be so bad if I could have access to the things I can't fit in the small room. As you can guess, I don't have access. Most of my things are in a PODS(Portable On Demand Storage). I didn't name it, I just rent it.
Now this could be manageable stress in my opinion. Out of sight, out of mind until you need something. Then it becomes a little bit stressful but easy to fix. What makes it not manageable is having tons of other stress added to it. People assume that when you are jobless, you can do whatever they need you to do. That you have no concerns of your own. In essence, they try to make you their personal slave. If you were under the same assumption that being jobless means you have all the free time in the world, you were wrong! I may be home only a couple days a week. I spend most of my day outside in the world running errands for myself. If I don't have time to run errands for you, then please do not try to guilt me into doing whatever you want. Do not always assume that your errands are more important than mine. If you act like that then I will always choose mine just for spite. If I am not out then I will be at home. This does not always mean I am free to do what you want either. There are some things that I have to do that require a time with no interruptions. I usually find that at home. My favorite is when I am asked to go out and get some groceries when she is already out and closer to the grocery store than I am from home.
I could go on for pages more, but I just realized how long this post is already. I won't bore you with anymore tonight. Well, technically this morning. I feel better just putting it out there. Sorry for the long read, if you even make it this far.
