Saturday, September 29, 2007 I am tired of people telling me not to be stressed.Cambridge Dictionary states that stress (noun) is 'great worry caused by a difficult situation, or something which causes this condition'. To be stressed, it would mean you are worried and anxious. I am neither. I am not worried or anxious about anything, perhaps for my kids who are taking their exams in a few days' time. But that is not what's been eating me up. These 'worries' for them can be easily categorised and stored away coz I know God has every one of their fates in His hands. So, stop telling me 'Don't be stressed.", "Relax!" etc. I don't need your pitying eyes on me, thinking why I am burdening myself with things that are easily settled, why I should be so tensed up over nothing, what a noble job I have and the additional things that go with it, why I am seemingly constant in this state of unrest and tiredness. Sad as it is, I can really anticipate the thoughts that go on in your minds. I am a self-confessed workaholic and a half-washed perfectionist. But these are not the factors causing me to be feeling this way. It's not anger, not even upset. It's tiredness, the fatigue of it all. I need people to walk beside me, to understand and not to judge or offer presciptions or diagnosis to my condition. I do not need to be counselled or healed. That is the job of my God, my Healer and Counselor. Tired: in need of sleep or rest. This explains why I may not be constantly chatty (which many assume I should be all the time) or smiley. Being anti-social is a different matter altogether. I clocked in 10 hours today. It feels darn good.
