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.

Chat with your doctors and or hospital.  I go to a free stress class to help with depression, anxiety, and stress.  I have had a heart attack.  Also you might want to contact a threapist for one on one threapy.  I am also happy to be alive and not feeling depressed.

The three 'R's - Rest, Relax and Reason.\n\nYou really need to rest and take sleep when you can - the demands of being a medical student go above and beyond the average Joe and you need to be on tip top form.\nRelax to take your mind away from your workload - this doesn't mean going out and getting yourself drunk and partied every night, but blow off some steam - exercise - hit out at a few punch bags and breathe in some lavender oils to wind down.\nReason with yourself - Is it worth worrying about? Is it worth affecting your health for? What would be the consequences if you didn't do something? Would life still go on regardless? Are there alternative routes you can try? Can you ask for delays from your tutors? Can you get help from them, or anyone else?\n\nMost of this is common sense, but when you get stressed, tired and depressed, sense goes out the window.\n\nMost of all - remember to breathe.\n\nTake Care

You can try to close your eyes and take deep breaths when feeling stressful or do ur favourite recreation For most people, stress is because of their workload, so if it is so for u, u can work out a timetable.

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.

i say that the best stress relief is exercise. i gets your mind off things and your doing something good for your body.something as simple as walking up and down the stairs for 5 min. is good enough. if you want to focus your brain on something you can listen to music. after you do this you feel better and more relaxed. yoga also works good 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.

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.

I use to have problem shutting down until I read the book Switching Channels. I think if it's not a medical condition then it has to be Mental. A state of mind. Stress was my biggest problem. Redefining my work load and understanding the source of my stress took a whole load off. I focus on the good things and started to look at things in a whole different perspective. Now, I sleep wonderfully!

Relax. Think about something else that stressed you out during the day but not so much you loose it. Maybe stop and change positions.

take your mind off of the stuff that is making you mad or sad.\nwatch tv{watch a funny show that will make you laugh your head off},listen to music,talk to someone about how youre feeling,punch a pillow,go outside and walk for a while or write down everything that is pissing you off and then crumple it up.
