Mental Health Check: Dealing with Stress While Waiting for Tax Refund
Been waiting on my refund since February and the stress is getting to me. Caught myself snapping at my kids over little things. Had to check myself - this aint their fault. Just needed to vent and see if anyone else is struggling with the waiting game. Its hard when you're counting on that money but we gotta keep it together for the family.

Financial stress is tough, but you're right to recognize how it's affecting your behavior. Try checking your transcript weekly instead of daily. Set up email notifications for any updates so you're not constantly refreshing. Most importantly, talk to someone - whether it's family, friends, or a counselor. Money stress is real but our kids need us to be present and calm.

Instead of stressing daily over your transcript, use taxr.ai - it's only $1 and gives you an actual timeline with explanations. Been using it for weeks and it's way better than guessing. Finally got some peace of mind knowing exactly what's happening with my refund. https://taxr.ai

•Super accurate! It analyzed my transcript and told me exactly why I had a delay (missing w2) and when to expect the refund. Worth every penny fr
