#stressors

Well, today's my birthday. I'm trying not to make a big deal of it, but just...I turn 20. It's my last year of high school. Going to college in the fall terrifies me. I'm constantly stressing out about the passage of time. In a few years, i might be able to look forward to my birthday. But this year, i certainly feel nothing but dread and stress on my birthday. I feel nervous to tag sll of my mutuals to this post, but I feel like I kind of have to. It's sort of the type of post where i feel indebted to, for whatever reason. So i'll just copy and paste this from one of my tag lists.

Edit: It's kind of awkward getting so many well wishes. It's flattering, but I wasn't actually prepared for it all. I had to confess that, because i need people to understand why I might not respond to all the well wishes.

And, well...all my life, my only friends have pretty much just been my family. The only people in real life who wished me happy birthday were my dad, my aunt, and my maternal grandfather. Also, one of my teachers via email. But that's it. Four or Five people, max. This post already has like eight or nine responses. So i'm a little in over my head. But thank you. Everyone who replied, thank you. I'm too shocked and... it's hard to explain, but you know what I mean. I can't offer an adequate response, but i'm thankful nonetheless.

My mom broke both arms this week from a very bad, dangerous fall. Firstly, I was disturbed by how much worse it could have played out. It's not an exaggeration to say she could have become paralyzed or worse. And it happened in a mundane way doing a household chore in the yard. But yes climbing up on something unsteady.

Secondly, I started wondering... what will I be doing if that happens to me (if not now, then let's say in 20 years when I'm her age). My parents' relationship is far from perfect (they're my first enemy ship I guess), but my dad is taking care of her right now in ways that make me cringe to even think about ever needing in my lifetime. And she has a son living close by who took her to the ER and sat with her through the ordeal of waiting for four hours in horrible pain and then her having her bones reset.

Idk. It just burst my flimsy illusion that "I... don't... need... anyone!" An accident like that could happen to anyone. But... I also just cannot face getting into the dating scene again on the off chance I find someone who will feed and shower me if I become disabled.

It was also the first time I looked up "meal delivery services" and it was basically for elderly people who can't take care of themselves anymore, and it was like a glimpse into my future, probably throwing money at the problem of caring for aging parents from afar, since I don't live close to them.

Human Relation: Reducing Stress

How to cope with stressor?

The four As gives us four choices for dealing with a stressor:

Avoid the stressor. We can try to avoid situations that stress us out.

Alter the stressor. Another option in dealing with stress is to try to alter it, if you can't avoid it.

Adapt to the stressor. If you are unable to avoid or change the stressor, getting comfortable with the stressor is a way to handle it.

Accept the stressor. Some stressors are unavoidable. We all have to go to work and manage our home life. So, learning to handle the things we cannot change by forgiving, developing tolerances, and letting going of those things we cannot control is also a way to deal with a stressor.
