(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.

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 :)

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'm very sorry to hear of this struggle you are going through. You are not the first to go through this, and are probably not alone either.\n\nWhen I go through tough times, I try one or both of two coping mechanisms that I have picked up in life:\n\n(1) Indulge yourself in something you enjoy doing (swimming, reading, running/jogging, surfing the web, watching porn, etc);\n\n(2) Talk about it with a good listener.\n\nBe well.

Change yourself. \n\nI know it's hard, but believe me.. they are not causing the stress, you are.\n\nIt may seem like external factors are creating stress inside of you but only through the understanding that you truly create your own stress can you hope to master it. Simply change your internal reaction to external stimuli... but I know that it's much harder than it sounds... I have been trying for many years and am only getting calmer, so I think it's working.

I suggest that medication might help.  Otherwise, you need to avoid the situations that cause you the most stress, if possible.  You can also find some sort of outlet like running, excercises, sports...something to let your frustrations out.  Hope it helps.

It's hard to fight stress while you are in the stressful situation. At home I read, clean and do artwork. Try hiding in teh Br for a few minutes or just plain tuning out.

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**

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.

1. Breathe. Yes! It's that simple. Breathe deeply, but don't hyperventilate. Inhale as though you were sniffing a delightful scent. Then stre-e-e-tch your arms high over your head as you slowly and completely exhale.\n\n2. Set boundaries. Just like the stressed-out mom who sat in the playpen to keep away from the children, you can erect some barriers. Decide what you will do — and when. Better still, decide what you won't do and dare to say "no." Try to avoid anything, and anyone, who wastes your time.\n\n3. Clarify your goals. Decide exactly what needs to be done, and plan a smart way of accomplishing each task. Oh, and give yourself a pat on the back every time you achieve even one of your goals, no matter how small.\n\n4. Put yourself first. That's right! If you aren't functioning at your peak, your work and your relationships will suffer. Find time for yourself, and try to do at least one relaxing thing each day: Take a bubble bath, or read a chapter of a favourite book.\n\n5. Give yourself a break. It's okay to goof off, cancel a lunch date, or miss a deadline now and then. In six months or 10 years, who will remember?\n\n6. Get spiritual. Get in touch with your spiritual values, and align your plans and activities with them. For instance, read an inspiring book, then figure out how to incorporate what you learned into your day-to-day life.\n\n7. Take five. Right now stop what you are doing to cherish the moment. Savour whatever you're drinking or eating. Or go outside and smell the air, the flowers and the trees. Feel the wind, sunshine or rain on your face. Listen for tiny sounds. Take a moment every day to marvel at the wonders all around you.

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.

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.

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.

Pray. \nGo to bed on time. \nGet up on time so you can start the day unrushed. \nSay No, to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health. \nSimplify and unclutter your life. \nLive within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. \nK.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble. \nGet enough exercise. \nEat right. \nGet organized so everything has its place. \nWhile driving, listen to a tape that can help improve your quality of life. \nWrite thoughts and inspirations down. \nEvery day, find time to be alone. \nTalk less; listen more. \nRemind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe. \nCircle yourself with good friends.\n\nLaugh. Laugh some more!
