C'Moms Speak! Summer 2009 (Overstressed) By C'Moms Members Q: What do you do when you feel like it's all too much? I come here to vent and then ask you ladies for prayer. It's always worked for me! I get lots of wise advice and encouraging comments and prayer to boot! I don't know what I'd do with out C'moms! I love you ladies!Ashlee
I go see my sisters. I have 3 of the most awesome sisters ever, and we'll all get together at our parents house and just talk, laugh and play games. With them I know I can be myself and they'll always love me just the same.

I whine and cry and stomp my feet and scream. ~Tara~
I try the resignation thing Tara, but they keep refusing to accept it! Ack! LOL breezykc2
Crying to God is my first response. I don't generally take things to dh because I don't want him to feel burdened to "have to" fix things. But I do cry and in my heart pray. savedbygrace
First thing I do is pray, have my conversation with the Lord, begging, crying, wondering how much more He thinks I can withstand. Than go to my hubby and also come here on cmoms for prayers and advice. Reneemomto5
Cry. A lot. Sometimes I just have to go to my room, have a really good cry and get it out of my system. Going for a walk helps, but it can be a little embarrassing walking down the street with tears streaming down your face. But it is a nice quiet place to be to pray and try to get some answers from God.

I take a deep breath and tell myself that I can make it for just one more second, when things are going crazy. Then I try to prioritize my health and sleep, get a break from my toddler, take a warm bath with lavender oil and do things that are relaxing.

I do something really silly. Sometimes I do forget to call on God, but usually it's the first thing I do. Then I go and make myself laugh somehow, talking to myself. I also put praise music on and dance. Praise and worship lifts me too. If Im just overwhelmed I will go on my knees and just pour my heart out but sometimes I feel really tense, Ill have a hot bath or get the kids to give me a massage.
