How do I deal with all this STRESS?!?

one thing at a time, man...one thing at a time. Take a deep breath and start slow...little problems first, then go from there. It helps me to look at the big picture and ask myself if this problem will REALLY be an issue to me in the grand-scheme of things or will it affect me 10 years from now or something.....look at the big picture.

Try and find the cause of your stress, and work on it, exercise helps a lot , along with a good nights sleep, and drinking enough water, in fact I think they have a book out titled STRESS AND WATER.\nIt is so hard today in our fast paced life styles, not to be stressed out. I could also say not to worry, but doesn't seem to fit with life styles today either.\nLaughter is so therapeutic, and is a good medicine.

Try and break your thoughts down and simplify. Usually lack of focus and stress is because your mind gets too far ahead of itself. Take things one step at a time, one task at a time and that should help a bit.

Let's start with this ... you're much too young to be so stressed over life. Try this ... don't set yourself up to see life as if every day is a struggle to survive. You're going to have plenty of time for that in a few years and then you won't have the same choice in allowing life to be simple. Enjoy this time of your life without making so many demands on yourself and ultimately you wont place those same demands on others around you. Just be you, be honest with yourself and others and for cryin out loud ... RELAX and have fun with life.

well.. good to c so many ladies.. good at managing stress!! \n\ni can only suggest a way to manage future..  /job/career related stress\n\n..well sleeping is certainly a good solution.. but u cant waste time "sleeping"\ni've tried this n it really works.. imagine urself in the worst possible situation... then think of where do u stand today.. then.. your goal... only after visualizing everything.. think practicaly whether the goal is achievable!!  u'll definately observe that it is.. n u feel much more relaxed n confident.. its important to plan out what is to be done in order to achieve.. the goal...  at the same time  ..\n\nit really works if u;re worried about ur long term goals..\ntry it n tell me if it helps!!

Depends on whats causing the stress. For example, if its work related then a chat with your boss or, more extreme, leaving for a new job, would help. You really have to sit and think whats making you stressed and deal with each thing individually. I was off work for 2 months last year following family problems as I just lost the plot (usually very laid back and easy going but suddenly snapped, yelled, threw stuff then broke down in tears all in my office), I went for some counselling and that put everything into perspective. Good luck.

You need to do your very best to put this behind you for the sake of your test. I'm hoping that your sporatic typing is evidence of how stressed out you are so I am not going to go on that too much. Slow down, take a deep breath and concentrate on your studies. Don't take any phone calls and don't let anyone harrass you. If you do get someone on the phone, tell them that pressuring you doesn't help and politely say goodbye until your test is done. I really feel like you may have more deep seated problems than what you are telling about here. I would deal with those as soon as you can. Counseling may be a good idea for you. It would also do you well to learn some good relaxation techniques. Do some running, play some good music, don't over study. I hope it all works out well for you.

take a day off.  Go somewhere by yourself and have fun. \n\nif your at work or cannot readily get away right now.. take a break and just close your eyes and breathe deeply of a couple of minutes.  a clear mind will get you through the rest of the day.\n\nAlso stretch.  If your all stressed out.. your muscles are all tight too.. loosen up and relax.  Also...  if all else fails... cover your face with a pillow and scream your head off!

I have alot of stress, hubby in military gone long periods of time, two kids, big house to clean ,bills...what makes me always feel better is reading the bible, going to church, drinking doesn't help anything just makes you more stressed and upset, just make time for yourself, sit in a peaceful place and take a deep breath and think about the others who have it harder than you, people with sickness, cancer, there's always someone who has it worse...another way is taking a nice long hot bath...or just taking a walk..

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 :)

You sound stressed - you need a break and you should take one. Some therapy may help - having someone to talk to is always nice- does your church provide any type of support in times like these?\nGet yourself a place and renew your relationship with the Lord - tell Him all that is troubling you and allow Him to guide you through these hard times - just rest in His comfort and rely on God to renew your mind and body. Pray for your spouse thats really all you can do at this point - he has to be willing to get help. Take care of your children and provide them with  loving support and stableness that young ones need. Don't seek divorce just yet - see what the Lord directs you to do...
