Please keep me in your prayers.
I am having a very stressful time. Now it is taking a toll on
my health. I work till 2 am most nights and am up by 6 or 7 am.
I tried hiring a couple folks to take the load off but they are either not
working out or working out slowly. Yesterday a neighbor lady said, "You have only one speed and that if full straight ahead, fast, hurry and worry. Then this morning I got a call from a very concerned friend. She said with all this stress and over working you are going to have a stroke or a  heart attack. She began chewing me out about what my health would be like when I am 60 y/o at this rate. It scared me as I have been having dizzy spells, head aches and a lot of anxiety, even chest pains (not bad just tightness and aches, not real pain) But it is my busy life style I am sure nothing is really wrong.
I know I need to slow down, I can't. Not now.
Please no lecture, just pray for me if you don't mind.
Thank you

azizah don't be like my dad... he says that all the time too "i need to keep busy" but stress is silent, you can't see it or hear it but it is deadly and it takes a toll on your health. so FORCE yourself to slow down please. get rid of some things that are not priorities in your life, add some leisure time, add some quality exercise time (running around doing errands etc doesn't count). you will feel sooo much better and in the end will be able to do things in a quality way.

take care inshallah,

Dearest Azizah

My du'ah for u always but coming from someone who allowed herself to suffer panic attack and anxiety disorder due to stress, please, love yourself first.  Allow Allah SWT to take care of the rest.

Wassalam

i agree, take time to smell the roses *smile*...make a list of the most important things and a list of things that you don't have to worry about, and then just focus on the things on ur important list....

[wlm] (WMT)...

Always in my du'as Sis.  No worries.  No lectures.  1 Advice....

"You work to live NOT live to work and if you're working too hard then you're not going to live long.  CHILL WOMAN!!!"

*note to self:  You work to live NOT live to work and if you're working too hard then you're not going to live long.  CHILL WOMAN!*

Gotta practice what I preach, right?  I'm going on vacation.  See you all in 2 weeks or so, insha-Allah.  

May Allah (SWT) bless us, guide us, forgive us, and have mercy on us all, ameen.

Many du'as.....

Ma-assalaamah.....
