STRESS! A number of things.....

edited March 2011 in Vent
#1 I have a voice recital tomorrow. I am so incredibly nervous. I did a dress rehersal and it went fine. I've done things like this before....I've performed in front of over 1000 people and this will only be 150. Still, there's that fear in the back of my mind that I'll suddenly panic and forget my song. The fear the the piano player will make a mistake. The biggest fear is that I'll start on the wrong note. For some reason whenever I sing the song, I can't get the note right unless I hear it. I start on F, and when I sing without listening to it first I end up starting on e or g. The piano plays one chord for my intro. Then I start. That's it. If I start on the wrong note I will mess up the whole song....<br><br>#2 My dad's getting the same foot surgery he had last year again in 3 weeks. He is incredibly stressed and on edge and yesterday we got into a huge fight over my homework. It was really little but he was so mad about it he screamed at me and swore in front of my little sister, which he's never done before. He apologized after, but it's still stuck in my head how angry he was for no reason. Then today we had a major problem with the plumbing and he was even more upset. I'm so worried about him.....I just want him to be happy. <br><br>#3 There's this girl in my classes that constantly misses school because she's "sick". I think she's been here for maybe half of the school days. She literally misses at least one day almost every week. She's become my friend and I'm worried about her. Besides missing school her mood changes quickly, she cries, and says she hates the school and is having issues with her family. She was planning on moving but now she doens't know whether she is or not. I always suggest talking to the school counsler but she never wants to. She says she'd rather just talk to her friends about it, but when we ask her she just says "Nothing, everything," or "it doesn't matter." I can't get through to her but I'm worried about her. It's been going on for over 2 months and she seems to have given up on things getting better. <br><br>Any comments or advice on any of these problems would be greatly appreciated.

  • Awh. I'm still absolutely positive you will do great! :D<br><br>I don't know what to say as far as daddy goes... he's just really stressed is what I can say... maybe ask around in stores and such for a job, I know the medical bills are very high, especailly for surgery. Even if you can't get a job, I'm sure he'll appreciate you trying to help :D<br><br>As for the girl, I'm in an exteremly similar position as her. I don't know when or if I'll move. If she's having problems at home, invite her over. Be the best friend you can while she's still there and still herself.

  • I don't sing, so I have no tips on that :/<br><br>That sounds like my dad when he's under a lot of stress. I figured out that the best way to not continue the argument is sitting there and letting him yell at me. I don't make eye contact. I don't say anything unless he needs a reply, and even when asked to respond it's in a syllable or two, maybe a three or four lettered word. Otherwise, try and make him a lot less stressed. Don't ask him for petty things, like a ride to the mall or something unnecessary.<br><br><br>I don't know what to do about your friend issue. Try sitting and talking to her over a cup of coffee? Believe it or not, it actually works. xD I always get somewhere with my friends when we talk over coffee or hot chocolate.
