I have a lot of stress myself, so I hope I can help.\n\nFirst, talk to your parents about being so stressed, and ask them to make you an appointment with your doctor. He may be able to prescribe you some medication to help. \n\nAlso, try getting a book on stress reduction and relaxation techniques from the library. It will be able to help you put things in perspective, understand why you get so stressed, and how to calm down when you feel pressure. \n\nI've used both of the things above - I'm on Xanax for stress, and it's very helpful. The books have also been great.

Best way is exercise.  Start with cardio if you haven't done it in a while and mix it up with weights once you think you can handle it.  Cut down on caffeine and sugar.  Cut down on alcohol.  Drink a lot of water and a lot of tea--tea with chamomile at night will help you to relax before bed (there is one out there called Sleepy Time by Celestial Seasonings--does the trick every night).\n\nPretty soon you'll feel better mentally and physically.\n\nYou can also get yourself a couple good jazz or classical CD's.  Check out the Hear Music compilations for a good mix if you aren't familiar with those genres.  Check out Afro Celt Sound System, too.  \n\nGet yourself hynotized by a professional.  It works wonders and it is relatively inexpensive.  A bunch of friends of mine have gone to a place in Chicago and the guy is top notch.  See link below.\n\nTry a yoga class.  Seriously.  Give it a shot.  Yoga is a great way to supplement a workout routine for the physical benefits and it's like a mini vacation every time you go.  \n\nLast but not least, talk to your doctor.  If you've got anxiety, he might be able to prescribe something like Xanax.  If your doc thinks you need a little extra help, he might send you to a psychologist or psychiatrist for a few sessions to see what's causing your stress.

I am a cognitive therapist, so I enjoy using and sharing active techniques. They might sound a little corny, but they can really work.\n\nFor example, every day as you approach the front door, picture yourself mentally bundling up your work stress and dumping it outside on the porch. Imagine yourself physically doing this and NOT bringing any of it into the house.\n\nIf, once inside, you find work issues intruding, imagine a giant red stop sign in your mind. This is your cue to STOP and to immediately put the work stress aside.\n\nAnother technique is to schedule some time to unburden the stress. For example, you can allow 15 or 30 minutes to complain to your spouse, write about the work stress, or whatever. Then, once that's done, you don't address it again for the rest of the day.\n\nOf course, it's also a good idea to try to lessen your work stress in the first place. You didn't ask about stress reduction techniques, so I won't go into those here. But I urge you to practice them in order to alleviate the stress as much as possible. Then you won't have to worry as much about having it intrude on the rest of your life.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

sit down in a quiet place and think about some things that make you happy, and some things that make you stressed out. pick one (or more) of the happy things, and try to do it/see it/listen to it/feel it more often. when you are experiencing whatever it is, really let yourself enjoy it.\n\nthen, think of one of the things that makes you stressed out. think about the way you like it (perfect) and what will happen if it's not perfect. next time you see it not being perfect, take a minute to relax and see if it's really as bad as you think before you change it. this is something you can teach yourself to do. \n\nwith both, start slow and do one at a time- you're not going to change everything overnight.

B complex vitamins will help with anxiety and stress a lot.  You make even want to ask your doctor to give you a series of B12 shots.  Eliminating caffeine will make a huge difference, as well as cutting back on sugar, fried foods, and white flour products. Valerian root, chamomile and ginseng may help to calm and relax you.

Exercise is a great stress reliever.  Instead of reaching for food, try going to a walk or run to clear your head.\n\nAlso, try having healthy food around to snack on instead of junk food.  You can crunch on tons of celery for very little calories.

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.
