Others describe me as an intelligent, hard-working, and generally pleasant individual who is detail-oriented and well-organized.

Me? Well, I'm not that kind...I'm an obsessive Type A personality who’s impatient, insecure, and short tempered. I admit I’m a perfectionist (all right...controlling). I'm pretty hard to please, so of course, I'd rather do it myself - you know,
so it’s done right. 

I’ve met others like me. People, mostly women, who can’t sit still for more than a few minutes, who are the very personification of multi-tasking, and who, for the most part, are time-sensitive. We’re leaders, competitive risk takers whose brain cannot decide if the left side or right side is in control, making us creative and sensitive too.

One acronym I’ve read about calls us TABBERS: people suffering from TAB disorder. TAB standing for Type A Behavior. Now, I’ve never really thought about myself as a “sufferer” or a person with a “disorder”, but let’s assume that’s true. After all, I’m an adult, and I should possess the ability to be honest with myself. So, I suffer from a disorder inherent to my personality, causing me constant stress. The question is…am I a Stress Junkie or am I just a victim of my naturing and nurturing?

That question is one of the reasons I’m here. I started StressJunkies.com to explore for myself, and for the sake of others, the reasons and implications associated with this person I’ve always been. And while taking this journey, what hints and tips, ideas and models we can find to help us exploit the good in who we are, and combat the bad.

So, welcome to StressJunkies.com. It is my plan (for we always have one laid out with specifics) that you will return here often to learn, laugh, and live with others whom the textbooks say are control-freaks, heart attacks waiting to happen. I invite you to submit a joke, story, photos, poem, info...whatever you find yourself compelling over - share it. But, bear in mind, this isn’t just some kind of “feel-good” place. This site is for the serious people who are ready to take honest inventory and do what we do best – handle it.

It’s my prayer that God will bless you on this much-needed journey.
