You could always smack around the one eyed wonder worm whilst whilstling the theme song to gilligan's island while riding the subway... then again.. a Chester Rumble might help...\n\nOHH! OHH! Try having more sex! Unless your girlfriend's pregrant, then you could try exercising, or going golfing! Dance Dance helps...\n\nas for the customers... treat em like they're the special retarded kids, and speak in your mo-mo voice... your mo-mo voice is the high picted voice you use to speak with babies and morons (Mo-Mo's)&#92;\n\nJust remember... they dont have molecular transporters...

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.

Best way to handle stress - distract and divert your attention to something of your interest. Yoga, music,medication(the last option),exercise helps but it all ends at one place "your mind". Your thinking,thoughts in short. Stress is different for different people and age groups and culture. If you are able to know that "this is what is causing stress for me" then i think the best option is to keep yourself occupied with others things - may be work, friends,shopping,cleaning,cooking something new,anything of your interest and even things that you have been wanting to do for a long time.\n\nSit and think what is bothering you. If it brings bad memories or making you sad then time to skip topics and turn around for better things.But ultimately to relieve yourself once for all of the stress - speak to an expert - may be a doc, a friend anyone whom you are comfortable with and who can understand you and your problem. This will also help in the long run.\n\nSo still then relax and learn to concentrate on things that you like and want to do - creatively.\nRemember one thing - There is nothing that is forever.Everything will change and even this will change.\n All the best.

wow, you have some issues there.. why dont you take a nice hot bath with lavender( its calming) then, when you get out write a list of things you need to work on. and goals. i write lists for everything and it helps a lot.  take things one step at a time and dont overwhelm yourself. Good Luck!

Hey I know just how you feel. I am type A personality so i get stressed real bad real fast. I try and find a quite place that i can sit cross legged and place my hands on my knees, I then take deep breaths in thru the nose to the count of ten, hold it for 7, then release it thru my mouth to the count of 10 with my tounge pressed against the roof of my mouth. This helps clear the mind becuase you are concentrating on breathing. All it really is is meditation. Try it and see if it helps.

Since you HAVE a job, that's a good thing.  In order to remove the stress take steps to put yourself into a position that will get you out of there.  \n\nUpdate your resume.\n\nPost your resume on job sites\n\nRespond to some online job ads\n\nIn otherwords, take steps to get yourself a new job.  I guarantee that you'll feel better -- even if you dont land something right away.

What're you stressed out about? When that happens to me I burn off the extra "energy" by exercise - just doing something to take my mind of the stressful situation! I take walks, ride my bike . . . . I've even ended up house cleaning!

get comfortable, wear loose clothes, have a soothing warm light around, try not having some kind of wokstation near where you sleep..it is pretty important to have a stress free zone with a neat, uncluttered set-up. lie down, read a little if you want to, close your eyes, and try and absorb the calm...appreciate yourself and your qualities, hoping to begin the comin day with all the positivity you can

Being 'stressed' often means being 'overwhelmed' by having too much to do.  If this sounds like you, I have a few suggestions.\n\n1) Say NO to people who ask you to do things - right now you need fewer things 'on your plate'.\n\n2) Take care of things 'the first time' they come up.  A simple example is 'checking your mail'.  When we get over-loaded, we tend to 'pile some here' and 'pile some there'  thinking we will be 'taking care of later'.  In effect, we have to handle and process the darn mail several times (that's a lot more work and a lot more stress).  So, with mail, take care of it NOW - all of it.  Then it is done and behind you.  This technique applies, obviously, to lots of other daily 'tasks' besides the mail.\n\n3) Prioritize.  This will take 5 minutes each morning or before bedtime for the next day.  List the top 5-7 things you need to do today, with the most important thing first.  Then do them in order and check them off your list as you go.  DO NOT exceed 7 things (and 4-5 may be more realistic when you are really stressed - so say NO to less important stuff for now).\n\nHope this is helpful.  Best wishes and good luck.

You could use the stress as you insperation. Might help with being depress too.

Long hot showers, meditation, exercise, screaming into my pillow, just about anything. I have a lot of trouble with patience too. If there are certain people that drive you crazy the first thing is to remember your being upset doesn't do anything to them. Sometimes you just have to let go of things. (Easier said than done!!)\n\nI also find it helpful to talk with someone. Let someone else know how you are feeling. Talk about what is stressing you out. Chances are someone else has gone through a similar event. While they may not be able to help you now, knowing that they survived will help relieve some of your stress.

Sounds like you just get in a rut, and feel overwhelmed and tired of working all that time.  Refocus your energy on what you like to do and commit to doing that at least one time a week (like walking, painting, reading).  Even if you have kids or a busy schedule, you should take some time in the week for yourself  (think nice long bubble bath or your favorite movie). Look for opportunities in the day that meant something, like cheering up a coworker, or doing a job well done.   Prayer can help or journaling.  Find a close friend to confide in, and ask for them to cheer you up.  They know you better than I do.  If you have written goals, post them on the wall and look at them every day to keep you going.  If you don't have your goals written down, then write them down and focus on what you are trying to accomplish.  And don't forget to laugh at the little things.  Like, for me, I was browsing through these questions and answers at work, and somebody wrote about doing a pee-pee dance and it cracked me up.  I almost laughed aloud at work.

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.
