I use to get sick all the time. One big factor was never getting enough sleep and down time. Which hugley effects my health physical and mental. I need a lot of rest too and that can be frustrating sometimes to accomodate. I tried doing too much, work, school, raising someone else's kid, marriage and all those things we women do to try and make and keep everyone around us happy.
It took much effort and time to learn to say no to things I didn't have to do but felt like others expected it of me, and to restructure my time to accomodate what I did have to do and some of what I wanted to do. There were also money problems during this time tied to my seperation from my first husband so there was learning to live on an even tighter budget and pay down debt.
By paring down my life I've found I'm able to get more things done that I feel like I need to and want to, although it still can be a challenge and it's one of those things one always works at to keep in check and there are always life circumstances that throw a wrench in the system from time to time that can't be helped. But learning to identify what can wait and what really can't versus what we think can't wait makes a difference.
I also switched jobs twice in a two year period. This also helped because the environment I worked in was somewhat toxic.
I did not do this on my own I went to a conselor for 2 years. I was also severally depressed.
Insoluable problem...

At any rate I hardly ever get sick these days.
