Frustration

Stumbled upon this site months ago and decided to join yesterday. I was wondering how you all deal with the frustration. Nice to know we are not alone.

I try to ignore everything. Like when there are posts about people's quick approvals, I just ignore them and pretend they aren't there. It seems like the #1 coping method.

Like when my ex-wife would ask me to do stuff during the football game...I'd just ignore her. It works great!

Welcome! You'll find this community is very supportive.

When you get to know people you get excited about their approvals and look forward to yours moving up the queue. Sometimes its hard - when you're waiting 6 months at CSC and Vermont filers are celebrating after 2-3 weeks! But that's when I go into 'Off Topic' when you can have a laugh or get stuck into a good debate!

I obsess and stress a lot over this process. My fiance prefers to not think about it until we get the NOA2 - so I come here for the obsessive non-stop talk of USCIS that I can't have with him

Watch Jerry springer or Maury show. then you will realize your situation is not as "F- UP " as theirs.

I generally hold my breath until I turn blue, then fall to the floor and kick my legs and scream a whole lot.

Lately, I get a bottle of wine and drink it with a couple of friends on a Friday night and discuss the week's events.

i tried (sometimes successfully, sometimes not) to keep my mind occupied with other things, like work, spending time with my family, planning our wedding, packing up my apartment, etc etc. Long walks also helped a lot.
