I can't gurantee it's the best way to relieve stress, but one or two helpful suggestions would be to study early so when the day comes you aren't freaking out about studying enough. Also taking your mind off the exams some is great, whether it's through relaxing with friends, watching a movie, or whatever else you like to do, it will help get rid of built up tension that might be keeping you from studying well.

Cool water. not too cold. drink it.\nThen take a cool (not cold) shower and go to bed. Do not sleep with a light on! Try to reduce your stress level. \nExercise is great for stress. just 10 or 15 minutes two or three days a week can make a real difference. Open a window. Fresh air is the best. helps the blood circulate and if it is migraines that's the best thing. Also, try not to get over heated or too cold.

Realise that you are not in control of your life and be okay with it. Knowing that there is something out there stronger than you holding the world together is always helpful, also make yourself some tea, and/or then take a bath/shower and wash away you tension

You shouldn't give up. The more you do, the stronger you are and the more you can do! Whenever you get stressed out, relax, take a break. Breathe in and breathe out. Then go back to the problem once you're stressed and work on your grades! I'm in highschool, so I don't know how stressful college can be, but I do know that school can be quite frusterating.

first of all, it's ok. it's normal. some people would say you're going through a quarter-life crisis. school, up to this point, is all you've known. teachers guiding your schedule, classmates keeping you company, a bubble (campus) that is safe and warm.\n\nnow, you've exited the womb that is school. you're crying as the world slaps you on the back. HE'S BREATHING!! the world is excited. you can take a few days in the incubator, or you can move on with your life. \n\nthe job fair sounds hopeful--not because it promises a career, but because it's something that's getting you out of the house, defining your goals, and pushing you toward the next phase of your life.\n\nhow did i recover from depression?\n-fought every negative thought, no matter how much it hurt my pride\n-filled my schedule with activites (church, the gym, music lessons, lunch, coffee, theater, etc.)\n-called a friend\n-turned off the tv\n-took a walk\n-before bed, write down a list of things you want to accomplish the next day. this gives you a reason to wake up and get going (like school!)\n-pick out your outfit for the next day. choose something that makes you feel smart/sexy/confident\n-set your alarm for the next day!\n\nrock the job fair! and if you can't wait that long, print up an application and head out. start talking to people. jobs are more likely to turn up if you're networking, than hiding away.\n\nnote: a job can be a way of continuing the "womb." be aware of this, and focus on this concept in therapy. you have to be confident and loving life no matter what you're doing. because some day, you'll retire, and then it will be much harder to get accustomed to life outside the womb.\n\ngood luck! you can do it!

Take little breaks now and then, so that you don't put your brain in overwhelm. Education is like a workout for the brain, but you also have to self-regulate so that you keep yourself in check. Don't talk yourself into quitting. Also, it's helpful to have a social life, using it as a reward system if your study projects have been completed. Use "fun" for your reward, and your mind will grow more agile so that you can get through it. Cheers!

You can basically talk yourself out of it.\n\nSeventy-five percent of all our problems - both emotional and physical problems - come from the same source. If you could identify that source, you could probably eliminate it. \n\nUnfortunately, few people are able to identify the core of their problems. And those who do typically don't know the steps to take to alleviate their challenges. \n\nSo what is the course of most of our problems? It is stress. That's right; stress is the source of 75 percent of all our problems and a major epidemic in people's lives. Finding ways to control stress is vital, because if you don't control stress, it will control you. \n\nIf you want to overcome stress and worry, try the following:\n1. Say No\n2. Listen to you Body\n3. Communicate with your heart\n4. Clear out past clutter\n\nTo stop stress, I do the following:\n1. Walk away from it! :)\n2. Clean the house.\n3. Go fishing.\n4. Concentrate on something meaningless.\n5. Play sports!\n6. Write on blogs.\n7. Read this book... Don't Sweat the Small Stuff!\n\nRecommended reading: http://stress.50webs.com

Try this: "set the stage."  That means that you can create a time and place and atmosphere where you are going to be working.   Turn off the tv or turn it down very low so you can hear voices and you will not feel so alone.  Get away from the tv set, so you can not see the screen; get a comfortable chair, table, and writing area; settle yourself in a comfortable position; then take a deep breathe -in through your nose, slowly out your mouth-let your shoulders relax and sag a little; now, that you are ready.  DON'T LET THE HOMEWORK SCARE YOU.  It's only paper, ink, and pencil.  Do your best.  Trust yourself and do this for yourself.  Now, that you have finished that piece of work, have a little break, or a soda; then tackle the next thing.  You could even make a list of what you need to do and mark off each one AFTER you do it.  Then you will see how much you have accomplished.  This worked for three school kids that I knew personally.  Good Luck and Blessings.

You can find healthy outlets to relieve your stress.  You can take a break from the stressor by pursuing an alternative activity temporarily.  You might try reading, exercise, watching TV, listening to music, or any other activity that you enjoy doing.  You can feel refreshed afterward, and return to the original activity with a new outlook on it.\n\nAlso, don't overlook the possibility of talking it over with others.  Sometimes other people's insights can really help you.

Hobbies are wonderful.  Meditation, pets, music, hitting a pillow, a glass of wine, reading, games, getting massage regularly, giving massage to a significant other, sex, laughing (preferaably not at the same time), entertainment like movies or TV, etc.  Pick something you like and do it.  The biggest thing I have seen that helps...just staying active mentally and physically.  FI you feel good you will look good and be your body and mind will not get as stressed and not hold as much stress.  Hope it helps.

When it comes to dealing with school stress, the most important thing to remember is to keep it real! Learn what stress is, what it isn't, and what it can do if you choose to let it rule your life. Here are some facts to help you keep it real! \nhttp://www.healiohealth.com/school-stress.html\nhttp://www.ecampustours.com/campuslife/schoolstress.aspx\nhttp://ezinearticles.com/?Dealing-With-Stress-at-School&id=101031

You need to find motivation to do things and be happy.  If you are stressed, keep in mind that most of the things you are stressed about (work, school, gf/bf, etc...) will probably not be at all important to you in a month, maybe even in a week or tomorrow.\n\nWhat I do to prevent myself from being stressed is to think about what I just said, take a deep breath, and just relax. I don't know exactly what your situation is, but just remember that everything will turn out okay in the end(it always does) and try and look at the bigger picture.  Don't stress about the little things.\n\nAs for depression, maybe you're just feeling bummed about stuff because you don't want to do anything.  I always get depressed if  I end up staying in my house for prolonged periods of time.  So, even though you might not want to, get out of the house! Call up one of your friends that you haven't seen in a while and ask them to see a movie with you, or do something fun that you've never done before.  You might be depressed if you are just bored with your life.  So, go snowboarding (if there's snow where you are), try a weird ethnic restaurant, join a yoga or ballroom dancing class with a friend, even if you think it's ridiculous because you will still end up having a good time.  \n\nI hope this helps some.  If you're depressed, you can always email me to talk, I don't mind. Sometimes you just need someone who is willing to listen to what's going on in your life.  Good luck :)
