Sometimes a person who is setting unreasonable expectations might be unaware that they are putting unfair pressure on you. When you talk to them, it might be helpful to say something like “When you treat me like this, then I feel…”
If you’re feeling pressured, talk to someone outside the situation, like a friend, parent or teacher. They are in a good position to help you identify expectations and help you work out strategies to deal with them.
Provide support when it makes sense, even when people are cold and unfriendly. Some people are rude and complain as an unconcious way of crying for help. Do something nice for them. An “Are you okay?” or “Is there anything I can do to help you?” can sometimes do wonders.
Nothing is perfect; the world itself is not perfect, nor anyone in it. Accept your flaws. Admit your mistakes. Don’t hide and don’t lie. Deal with the truth, learn the lessons, endure the consequences of reality, and move on.
“It’s not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It’s our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.” – L.R. Knost
If a miscarriage is confirmed, you’ll need to talk to your doctor or nurse about the options for the management of the end of the pregnancy.
If you have the symptoms of a miscarriage, you’ll usually be referred to a hospital for tests. In most cases, an ultrasound scan can determine whether the pregnancy is ongoing or you’re having a miscarriage.
Budget sheets are useful tools that help you manage your income and stay out of debt. Creating a budget is important for everyone, and can give you freedom and peace of mind since you know exactly where your money is going.
To create a budget sheet, write down your outgoings (all the individual items you spend money on in a week or month, one per line: if you pay for it, include it) and your incomings (all the money you have coming in). You can sum the outgoings to see how much you spend each month.
It’s hard to move forward in your life when your past is crowding your present. Imagine how much richer life would be if you moved the junk out and made room for new opportunities.
