2008 was a loaded year. We made presidential history and are still suffering through some grim economic times, but when you add that to our everyday stress, it's no wonder so many of us had some serious worries in 2008.
I'm sure the top three stressors of the year won't surprise you, but check them out below — it might be comforting to know you're not alone:
- Job security
- Health of family and friends
- Relationships
If you want to vent any more of your worries from this year, have at it in the comments section below!

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.
1i actually have to admit that i am really greatful that most of this year none of these have been a serious stress for me. I've been pretty lucky. I've had a great year.
2Relationships tops my list for this year, wow, 2008 was a crazy relationship year for me.
3School comes next.
aren't those the top 3 every year?
4Getting a job.
5Paying off bills.
Not being able to go back to school.
Definitely job for me. I started worrying about jobs 6 months before the graduation. Overall, this year was an okay year for me. Nothing real bad happened and nothing amazing happened either. I guess my life is boring.
6I agree with Muirnea, this was a crazy year for relationships with me too. I went from living with a guy, to moving back home with mom and dad, to being stalked, having my tires slashed, and finally when I found the right guy (he is so perfect) I almost screwed everything up completely!! Thank goodness everything worked out.
7I think the biggest has been jobs. I moved to two different states in the past year...more like 8 months, and it's been rough. With the bad job market all the moving around made more imminent doom -- which I am currently feeling. I always feel bad without a job.
Relationships was another big one. Love the boyfriend, but sometimes, especially this year, he can be such a douchebag!
8Money, money, money!
9I am quite pensive about money these days. I am currently unsure as to how i will be paying off these darn student loans.
I wonder how many times "Woman pensive" gets searched on getty images search for this site.
10True that!
11Relationships get the top nod here as well. Not that there have been any new developments for me romantically, but the existing relationships I have, with both my g/f and my ex is pretty interesting. My g/f and I have finally started living together, which has been an amazing year so far. And my ex and I, who were once bitter enemies to the extent of having a restraining order placed against her, are better friends now than when we were dating. And strangely enough, we can all hang out together, and get along. Pretty interesting year indeed.
