Stress Much?

I was having a conversation with some of my friends. We were chatting about the stress of school, particularly nursing school. We were talking about studying, and parenting, and all that fun stuff. Here's what I learned....

One gal stopped her monthly cycle throughout the entire time she was in nursing school. As soon as she graduated it came back.

One gal stopped sleeping. Not like literally, but she couldn't get a good nights sleep because she was so stressed, and she was up until 1am or later every night, and then up the next morning for school.

One gal that I'm in school with now has started loosing her hair. Kid you not, she is shedding like crazy and it's due to stress.

Me???... oh no.... I'm fine. I just am running a blood pressure of **Brace yourself** 173/102. KID YOU NOT that was my BP today. (AFTER I left the DR's office before that it was 162/100... 170/104.... and yesterday it was 147/90)

Yup... I'm going to stroke out.

Pass the Xanax.
