The 8 signs you are seriously STRESSED OUT#admititgirls

Stressed? Moi?

 

Just because you don't bite your nails down to bloody stumps, it doesn't mean that you aren't suffering from stress... 

 

These are the top 8 signs that you need to get your mindfulness on and Zen yourself out!

 

 

 

 

 

1.

It takes you 15 minutes to get out of the house every morning, and that's after you've finally settled on an outfit and done your hair and makeup.

"Yikes, I forgot my umbrella! Wait, did I turn the oven off? (which I haven't used in 3 months). Ooops, pretty sure I left the bedroom light on! Oh no, I forgot to feed the cat! Wait... I don't have a cat..."

Sound familiar? 

2.

You check and double check and triple check what time the film is showing tonight, just to make sure that you've got the time exactly right, and the right date, and the right year, and the right film, and the right city... because you  never know. 

Let me just check that again... 

 

3.

You 'pop' back to your house at lunch time to just really, really make sure that the oven is off and not burning down the house because you really can't afford new furniture and imagine if old Mrs P upstairs was stuck in her apartment with all the smoke and wait just think of all the photos you would lose which, now you mention it you really need to back up one of these days...

Best go home and check. 

 

4.

 

You don't look at yourself in the mirror, you scrutinize. You interrogate your face, your features, your hair, your makeup, your blackheads, your teeth, the back of your tongue, the insides of your ears... 

 

5.

 

When you walk past a shop window you screech to a halt... not to check out the cute shoes on sale, but to make sure that your skirt isn't riding up or tucked into your underwear, and while you're at it, to make sure that your scarf is still falling nicely over your shoulder the way you like...

Wait is that a pimple? 

 

6.

When your phone rings you NEVER say "Oh cool, it's Mom". No, instead you say "OMG I hope nothing bad has happened to Dad, what if he had an heart attack? Or is it Grandma? Is she ok? I'll have to cancel my weekend plans to go and visit them". 

All this before you pick up and learn that all your Mom wanted was the name of that new show  on Netflix you were raving about. 


7.

 

You fiddle with your hair so much during the day that by the evening it's a greasy, knotted mess and needs at least one wash and a conditioning treatment. 

That's the problem with bangs, you want them down all Zooey Deschanel but after about 10 minutes they are getting in your eyes and making your forehead itch, but if you brush them back you look weird and bald so better clip them, but wait what if you put a headscarf on, looked great on Béy, no wait take it back you just look like a Soviet factory worker.

 

8.

 

You are so exhausted by the end of the day, that you are safely back home (and sure that your house hasn't secretly burned down or flooded without you noticing) you collapse on the couch in sweatpants and your rattiest college hoodie, fortifying yourself with wine, cheese, candy, chocolate and chips because you deserve it. And you know what? You're going to have a hot chocolate and Baileys too! 

 

Stressed? No way!!
