I can't take it!
I can't take the stress,
and it's only Tuesday.
Do you know one of my friends
wanted to end her life, told me
the plan in great detail and scared
me to death? It's not Halloween yet!
Talk about a manic Monday -
I spent much of the time I could spare
talking to her, writing her since I could
not reach her by phone, trying to talk
her out of it, and by the grace of God
and many people praying by my request
for her, she didn't - in fact, her whole
life is changing now, praise God!
But then came Monday night - I coated
my dog's skin in tea tree oil, only to find
out the next day it was toxic and nearly
killed him...I couldn't bear to leave his
side, to take my eyes off him...
I nearly killed my baby, my puppy with
an old-wives remedy that I had no idea
would send him into shock and hypo-
thermia...almost death by this morning.
Angels and ministers of grace are defending
and protecting us: my mom's puppy (they
both sleep on my bed) sensed something
wrong, and sandwiched my dog between
me and himself, to keep him warm, as I was
conked out from a sleeping pill...and so
survived the night until my mother found him
in such a state that even the vet didn't know
what the #&!*% to do to help or save him!
Lord, it's only Tuesday; I can't take anymore
excitement - my anxiety pills are running low,
there's chance I won't be getting more to deal
with my Panic Disorder and anxiety issues,
and I still have to deal with Halloween this week.
Author notes
I hope this week calms down, but something tells me it won't.

I've been in your shoes before. It just seems like nothing is going right, you have to deal with your own issues, and of those around you. That level of stress is very bad for your mental stability, and you should take some time to relax and work out your own problems first. The life of a friend will always pull you to help, but now, you should let the hectic troubles of your week blow past and dont let it happen next time.
Great work on the write, and remember, the Sun also rises.

Yikes - I haven't bought candy yet!
Praise God that your friend turned her life around and that your dog's ok.
Yeah, my Clonepin - they control it strictly, I can't sleep without it. I can relate!

Strangely enough, I know exactly what you mean! My dog is not doing well, and I think I'm going to have to put him to sleep, I have a class that is becoming really difficult to work things out in, and trying to balance everything else. God bless you! I can relate, and I hope all is well with your puppy and your friend!
