What is Singleness Stress?

I’ve been blubbering to everyone especially my cousins a self-coined term called “Singleness Stress”. That kind of stress attacks anyone especially if you’ve been single for the past two years. It starts with self pity and would eat up your whole day which makes it very stressful. Most of my female colleagues are experiencing it especially if they’re single parents or even when they have a boyfriend but not obviously felt (he he). It would come while you are alone, in any situation, glued to the tube or just strolling at the mall. You would need to constantly talk to someone to relieve you of the stress. It is not different from any other kind of stress except that you get tired and weary because you are alone. Here are some signs:

1. When you cry in a non-mushy film such as “When Love Begins” or “Iron Man”;

2. When you do not cry at a book that everyone’s been crying about;

3. When you get irritated at the sight of lovers holding hands or messing around;

4. When you frequent the spa or you get massages at least 3-4 times a week;

5. When you don’t believe that true love could not be found in the Big Brother House;

6. When you overly pondering the fact that all your exes are all happily married or committed to someone;

7. When you abhor it when our exes keep on sending you sms telling that they miss you;

8. When you hate your friends getting married and worst they put you in reserved seats at the wedding reception with kids on it or in a ten seater table with a blank seat obviously for your supposed-to-be significant someone;

9. When you just couldn’t stand it when you have to update a long lost friend asking about you ex and repeating the heartbreak story over and over again

10. When you deny the fact there is someone better that would come into your life besides your last ex.

Hey. It doesn’t mean that if your experiencing this stress would mean that you’ll have lonely nights. It may even be the opposite. Most people who experiences “Singleness Stress” have a bountiful sex life. If you’ve been attacked by the “SS” and your sex life is zero, then you got a bigger problem.

The Night When Everyone Got a Text Message

Last night, eevryone close to me got this text message

"Everytime I go to the doctor, it seems that I'm always reminded that my time is running out. And I dread every moment of it. Ive got too much diuretics in my system that I don't know if the results would turn out to be fine. I try to be happy and do the things that I could afford to do evryday but the constant fear always engulfs me every time this moment comes. I'm texting this not because of drama, worry or panic for for your support and prayers"

The same message also goes out to you readers of my blog. I may look strong and invincible but deep inside when I'm alone I need someone to vent all my feelings out.

Good news is: the results turned out to be just fine. :)

And speaking of seizing every moment that I feel fine, the two and a half hour spa session after the doctor's consultation didn't hurt. Hayyy, ang sarap dito sa pupuntahan ko :)
