Too many questions were stressing me out!

May 21, 2020 (Chapter 11 Stress and Anxiety in my book)

Recently I had posted some videos on social media. I made them for my granddaughters. They were videos of me making homemade strawberry jam using my jam maker. I received some questions about the machine that I used so I answered them. One person had several questions that I answered. I was fine with answering all of the questions and I didn’t feel stressed at all.

Then about a week later, I started getting private messages from one person on my social media page. I answered several questions, but unfortunately, they didn’t stop! Instead, they just kept messaging me. This past week, the questions just began to stress me out. This person wanted answers and even tagged me on their page letting me know they sent me a private message. On this particular day, I was DONE answering her questions! I untagged myself on her post and I ignored her private messages. Later that day, I sent her a private message explaining what was going on. I apologized and I told her that unfortunately I was feeling stressed out by all of her questions. She apologized to me and said that she would not be asking me any more questions. I told her, “no worries. I just can’t change that from happening to me.” Then she said that she found her answers online and that she shouldn’t have bothered me when she could have found the information online.

I usually enjoy helping people, but this just became too overwhelming for me to deal with! Right now, today has been a good day! I'm so glad that I was able to stop these questions that were stressing me out!
