You can vent to your friends and family, go for a quick run, go to the gym, go outside and scream, cry, find a punching bag, throw around a pillow, drive around and listen to music, meditate, join a yoga class, take a bath, or go on vacation or a little get-a-way trip!\nGood luck!

Figure out the sources of you stress...like when you realize that you are not relaxed, think about what you are doing at that exact moment...are you worried about your career, boyfriend/girlfriend etc. Finding the source will allow you to focus on your breathing and allow you to control your bipolar disorder.\n\nAdditionally, exercise is also beneficial to your journey.

A relaxing massage in a place with a nice ambience - probably a spa - relieves stress the most for me. Try a massage with aromatherapy oils while listening to new age/zen music and once your stress knots are relaxed you will feel blissful!

Remove myself from the situation, take a walk, take a drive, if you can't go anywhere else, just go to the bathroom, shut the door, wave your arms and scream silently.  Take deep breaths.  Listen to your very favorite music.  Everyone has to find their own combination for what works.

I know that stress in life can be unavoidable at times. Why, any change in ones situation is considered a source of stress. Exam your life and your current obligations. Determine if there are some things that you are currently doing that you can stop or delegate to others. \n\nTry to schedule in some daily "me" time when you can just do something that you find totally relaxing, even if just for 15 minutes. Think about things that you like to do, that makes your happy, or that you find relaxing. Have a mini daily retreat where you can refocus, replenish, and rejuvenate your soul.

Learn to manage your stress and your nerves will take care of themselves...\nstress relief pointers\nthink really seriously about and talk with others, to identify the causes of the stress and take steps to remove, reduce them or remove yourself (the stressed person) from the situation that causes the stress. \nUnderstand the type(s) of stressors affecting you (or the stressed person), and the contributors to the stress susceptibility - knowing what you're dealing with is essential to developing the stress management approach. \nimprove diet - group B vitamins and magnesium are important, but potentially so are all the other vitamins and minerals: a balanced healthy diet is essential. Assess the current diet and identify where improvements should be made and commit to those improvements. \nreduce toxin intake - obviously tobacco, alcohol especially - they might seem to provide temporary relief but they are working against the balance of the body and contributing to stress susceptibility, and therefore increasing stress itself. \ntake more exercise - generally, and at times when feeling very stressed - exercise burns up adrenaline and produces helpful chemicals and positive feelings. \nstressed people must try to be detached, step back, look from the outside at the issues that cause the stress. \ndon't try to control things that are uncontrollable - instead adjust response, adapt. \nshare worries - talk to someone else - off-load, loneliness is a big ally of stress, so sharing the burden is essential. \nincrease self-awareness of personal moods and feelings - anticipate and take steps to avoid stress build-up before it becomes more serious. \nexplore and use relaxation methods - they do work if given a chance - yoga, meditation, self-hypnosis, massage, a breath of fresh air, anything that works and can be done in the particular situation.

lift weights, jog, get a massage from a licenced masseuse.  Do  something to make yourself happy again.   You have to make yourself happy before you spread happiness to other people. A doctor or pill ain't going to do it for you.  Exercise at least releases endorphins into the bloodstream and helps regulate mood.

Clean out a closet, wash the floor, take a walk for 30 minutes...burn off the stress with something physical.  It is a temporatary band aide only though.  Real stress needs to be dealth with or it will leave you with physiological problems somewhere in the body.  What goes on above the neck affects what goes on below the neck.

Try to get in touch with yourself spiritually and take a time-out. Do something you enjoy and remove yourself from the tension. I know it's easier said than done but it's worth your sanity! **Sending you strength**

There are many different ways to decrease stress in your life.  However, there are also different types of stress.  For example if your stress is from trauma or some other sort of seriously stressful experience, then my suggestions will not be sufficient and your stress may require some short-term therapy (often known as PTST - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).  If your stress is the normal everyday stress that we all put up with (job stress, kids, responsibilities, financial, muscle tension, traffic, etc.) then I offer the following suggestions.\n\nMany men prefer to destress through activities such as playing group sports, hanging out with their pals or working out at a gym. Women can also find ways of relaxing by participating in activities or hobbies they enjoy.  Additionally, practicing relaxation to relieve muscle tension is extremely effective and can be practiced quickly and easily if sufficiently learned. Practice by tensing your fists for 5 seconds, then release the tension completely. Say to yourself, "relax". Notice that your hand is now MORE relaxed than before the tension. Practice this method moving all throughout the body.  This is called Progressive Muscle Relaxation and I'm sure you can find a full script somewhere on the web. Other forms of relaxation may include yoga or other exercise, meditation, visualization, prayer or other spiritual practice or communion, talking to a friend or loved one, seeking profession help through therapy or medication, and so on.  If you find that your stress is a little more permanent that just every day experiences, then you may consider relocating to a city with a slower pace or changing to a job that will be less stressful.  Examine your life and see where your stress is coming from and then slowly you can find creative ways of eliminating or decreasing the stress as a whole. Good Luck and don't forget the powerful connection of Mind and Body!!

(m)\n\nOvercoming Stress \nYou Can Fight Back And Win\nWhen you are under extreme amounts of stress, you may feel like there is no way you can overcome your problems. You believe you'll just have to cope until the situation improves. The good thing is, you don't have to put up with the negative effects of stress. You can fight back and come out on top. It's not hard to do. Here are several ways to make yourself a winner when the pressure starts to mount.\n\n\nGo with H 2 0\nAmazingly, drinking water can greatly improve how you feel. Water is often overlooked even though it is the most essential nutrient. You know how it feels when things get tough. Your mouth gets dry, you start to sweat and your heart begins to palpitate. Sometimes when under stress, you may also forget to drink. This can lead to dehydration and even more severe symptoms. Get some water and help your body return to its normal state. \n\n\nSet it aside\nSometimes it is actually best to put aside a stressful problem until a later time when it can be dealt with more effectively. This isn't procrastination if used in a proper manner. Maybe you are having problems with a co-worker or family member. You may want to confront them, but you also know that they aren't ready to discuss the issue. Waiting another day or two could help both of you be better prepared to handle the problem. \n\n\nAvoid snack attacks\nYour first reaction to a stressful situation may be to reach for a candy bar. Unfortunately, this can do more harm than good.\nAlthough you may get a quick high from the sugar, you will probably send your blood sugar on a roller coaster. After the initial good feeling of indulgence wears off, you may experience even more tiredness and anxiety. Try healthy snacks like fruits or fresh vegetables instead. \n\n\nFind an outlet\nThere is usually pent up energy building inside you during a tough situation. What you may need to find is a way to release it.\nHaving a good cry or laughing with a friend may be just the cure you are needing. By dealing with your stress in a positive manner, you can turn around a negative situation. Keep these tips in mind the next time you feel pressure or anxiety. As with any problem, in order to feel better, you have to take care of yourself.
