PRESSURE

[nuggetgirl]

Just wondering if anyone else out there experiences alot of pressure in their life? I need someplace to vent, and well...this is it.
So I'm getting my AA degree and right now we're doing this stupid human relations class. Well anyways, we've been studying like goals and motivations and such and I learned there is two types of motivation.
Extrinsic and Intrinsic. Intrinsic is where you complete your goals for yourself and extrinsic is where you complete your goals to make someone else happy.
I now realize that I totally do everything to make everyone else happy. My parents, my husband..everyone. I get put under so much pressure to be this person I'm not just so everyone else is happy with who I am. On the outside I'm like miss goody two shoes around anyone I don't know. You could even say the way I look is the way everyone else wants me to!
So I suppose you could say that weed is my relaxant, cause without out it sometimes I feel like I could explode.

id rather cause the pressure than suffer from it.
im like the dharma bums and practice "do nothing"
if you cant make yourself happy then no one else can either.
we are all different and what works for one may not work for the other.
thats why understanding is so important.
live for yourself fuck this world.people suck

I say take yourself on vacation
ALONE
go somewhere new
and be who you are
or who you want to be
even if it's just for a little while
maybe it'll help the stress.

I'm under a lot right now. I've had no car for 3 months because my mom took it away when I had a mental breakdown (no joke ;)). I'm forced to move out of my apartment this week, because I cannot afford to pay the rent. I cannot get a job, because I have no car and can't go look for one, or even get to one if I had it. So I have to move back home with my mom and stepdad, in the same yard (I call it the Compound), with my neo-conservative grandparents, who think I'm addicted to meth. But, life really doesn't suck that much. So I'm not complaining.

im constantly under pressure but i dont let it get to me cause i kno that i have potential to do good so i dont let anything or anybody get in the way. i just take life slow dont worry wut other people are doin. just worry bout my own shit.

I'm the same...

I hardly ever get stressed even though I am under alot of pressure all the time....parents, tutors, friends....I dont let it get me down though....I know deep down that I'm doing what is best for me (well im sure most of the time).

That sucks that your mum is ill PP...mine is to, she just underwent major surgery and is now really depressed, she seems to always be taking it out on me...im not blaming her though...she has to vent somehow.

Well, I said this before, but I am bipolar, so I'm really sensitive to pressure, my husband and I bought a new home recently and it was tough for me. It's really cold here in PA and our oil bill was $460, My husband's boss didn't pay our health insurance, even though my husband has paid for our health ins to him and I need a prescription, I'm out of the medicine so I'm hoping I'll be ok till I can get more. My husband didn't go into work today cause he's pissed (do you hear the violins playing?)and the dude has already bounced his paycheck like 3 times. He's looking for a new job currently, but life really sucks sometimes. I spent $3000 on prescriptions and doctor's visits last year. My illness is expensive! Stress can really wear you out, you know? I just don't like to see my husband depressed, I can take it, but it KILLS me to see him upset:(

I love my lifestyle.I love my attitude.I love my music.

Fuck the rest.

I'm sure that will all change when I'm out of high school and have to deal with a whole new different set of assholes in the real world.
