any thought could be the beginning of a brand new tangled web you're spinning
So last week the doctor asked me "What would you say is your biggest stressor?"
I had a really hard time answering.
It is such a broad, open ended question!
How could i possibly condense a few thousand things (all involving numerous background and set-up stories) into one answer???
It's impossible, and would be like trying to fit "Tale of Two Cities" into a paragraph or two.
The more i thought about it, the more irritated i became.
I felt like saying "Dude, don't you think that if i knew the answer to that, i would just eliminate it and help myself?" "You're the fucking doctor. You tell me!"
On the other hand, i couldn't really over-simplify and be like "Well, Doc, my life sucks because i have failed to take the right steps at the right times to make it all that it could've been."
I ended up telling him that my biggest stress is being 25 and still living paycheck to paycheck, without progress... stagnant, and with no real light at the end of the tunnel or finish line in sight.
In a nutshell, i guess that could sum it up... but it is still (i think) much too vague to really help identify why i am as fucked up as i am.
