Hi Tyra! I am beyond stressed. i am so stressed that my body is reacting to the stress. I am all of a sudden dealing with acne break outs, constant vomiting and eye twitches. My doctor says that my reactions are normal and that eventually they will pass, but that was almost 5 months ago. I am 27, a mother of a 2-year old, in school full time, and a supervisor that has been known to work 50 plus hours a week! When oh when will the stress go away??
 
Hey Tyra! Im 24 years young and im the proud mother of a 5 year old son. I am supa stressed and have been lyk most young ladies in my situation.Since the age of 17 ive been through so much it brings tears to my eyes to even think about. Ive been on my own since i was 18 years old. My parents kicked me out when i was 3 months preg. with my son. I was basically homeless until my sons grandmother let me move in with her and my childs dad. And that was the beginning of the turmoil in my life. I work a night shift now and its hard because i never get a chance to really spend time with my son. Theres so much i would love to do. But no guidance within my self to do it. Im with a man now thats 14 years older than me and i love him with all my heart but he doesnt really wont to be with me. Weve been at it for 3 years in September and he still wont commit to me. Im afraid to walk away because im afraid i wont survive with out him in the sense of the bills. I have low self esteem no confidence. Ive been told by many of people im to hard on myself. But hey thats what im use to people being hard on me. Also tyra i love the relationship that u have with ur mom. I wish i had that but i cant get through to my mom i feel lyk the outcast im my family. I wish me and my mom could have a wonderful relationship but i kno thatll never be. Will u help me Tyra? Will u help me to understand. I
 
Hey tyra, i am really stressed out right now in my life. I have a 2 year old daughter and unemployed. I have just finished school to become a medical assistant and i cant find work. I live with my mother and currently we are looking for a better home so for the last 2 months we have been going with a relator looking for homes. Every home we see like someone bids higher on it and we lose the home. This has been a long and stressful process. Hopefully everything will turn around and get better
 
I would like to see you do a show on mid-life crisis. My husband is going thru mid-life crisis & it is very painful. You don't hear anyone talking about it on shows but it is very real. I've never hurt so bad in my life & would like to hear from other wives that have gone thru this, how they saved their marriages, if they're husbands were different when they came out of mid-life crisis, if so,how were they different, etc. Thank you! Carole

Hey Tyra. I recently turned 21, and have been having a TON of stress in my life. My parents went through a horrible divorce a couple years ago, and four of my little brothers got taken away. My dad was abusive --especially to me, my mom, and one of my brothers (the oldest boy). He would try to watch me while I showered, and even made this thing that would unlock the door quickly. He would also chase me around the house laughing this crazy laug saying he was going to hurt me while I cried hysterically. He also "spanked" me with a big wire brush used to scrub the rust off cars. Anyways, it was bad, and the most horrifying time of my life. I ended up getting married last summer, and my husband is a sweetheart. I moved in with him and my in-laws, and we stay in their unfinished basement which I really don't like, but my husband says we have no choice until he finished the Bachelor's degree he's working on in Computer Science. His mother in law is driving me crazy, and she yells at me all the time. She acts like I'm an intruder. I have had many health problems from my body being under so much stress. I've also had suicidal thoughts and severe panic attacks with heart palpitations. I told my doctor and she put me on an anxiety medication which did away with the self-destructive thoughts, but I still feel like a caged animal. I think this situation is going to drive me crazy! I thought about moving out and in with a roommate where I would get my own room and GET AWAY from my mother-in-law. I even packed my clothes up, but my husband freaked out so I told
 
hi tyra.i'm always stressed out.between work taken care of my brothers and sister plus my dad.i'm the oldest and dealing with everyones issue's and also bills.plus still getting over my mother death.in 07 passed ways from cancer.who i also took care of when she was ill till she passed away.i have no time for myself.also i have a boyfriend.i don't have time for .but after almost three years with him he is still with me.so am i stressed out for a good reason.
 
I think that my recent problems require more meaning to the word stress. Being a single mother of 2, living with a chronic illness, tragically loosing the love of my life (although this was 6 years ago its still hard to deal with), financial problems and trying to act like I can cope with all this when really I'm as frail as a butterfly is probably my biggest problem. I'm trying to stay hopeful and faithful but I need a BREAK!
 
Too stressed? I would definetly have to say yes. these days I just feel like I can't seem to keep my my mind (thoughts) straight. I feel all over the place and on the edge; like something is going to trigger me to black out any second. Its just all becoming too much for me. its just always something, my kids, school, the bills, money issues, my relationship. I just don't know where it ends, or when it will end for me. I just want to feel happy with my life.
 
Hmmm... am I too stressed? I would have to scream, "YES!" Within the last 2 1/2 years I've started dealing with my past- sexual abuse and rape. That alone is very hard and stressful; but, add in the pretending to be okay for everyone around me, keeping up grades so I can graduate, and keeping a job. Many times life has become too much and I've had to take 'breaks', but I keep on keeping on. To make matters worst my best friend and roommate of 7 years just left. Money issues are terrible, too. But, I have to believe that things will get better. Otherwise, life would not be worth living.
 
i will be the first to admit i am stressed to no end. if it isn't one thing then it is another. relationship, work, money, time, it never ends.
 
as for me,am sure enough that am only lonely and not stressed out....but i think israel could stressing themselves for demanding their long time captured soldier be handed over,yet they are not sure whether that soldier of theirs was also a victim and a statistic of its recent Gaza shelling. TAMBUA VILLAGE HAMISI,KENYA.
 
I like the show! I would like to tell my story 2 the world some day.you would not belive what I have been thru!
 
Hey Tyra, Just wanted to say that I love how you keep everything real. Your not afraid to stand up for people, like you did on the show to the 600lb women. Im over weight(5'9 and 220lb)and i know how it feels to not do everything a person of 18 should be able to do, and i just want to say thanks to all your support you give me when you do shows showing its ok to be who you are and be proud of it, just wanted to say thanks!
 
Tyra, I was glad when you stopped the 600 lb woman on your show today from speaking any further because she was truly upsetting me with the cancer comment. I was on the edge of my bed today screaming at her on TV like she could really hear me because she struck a nerve & then you finally just ask her not to say anything else. Good for you Tyra....I am glad you did that & I know alot of your viewers watching appreciated that you stood up for them so I so Thank YOU!!!!
