I have being stress since 2005. That's when my son's father died and left me all alone. Now I've tried all sorts of things to make me happy.But nothing seems to work. Well,I have a boyfriend and he has so much patients with me but at times, I just can't help it and lashes out at him for the most stupid things. I always say to myself next time i'll handle things differently but that never happens. I know I need help but doen't know how to start, seriously I really don't how to start, where to start i'm lost.

I'm not a doctor but it sounds like you're suffering from depression. You should talk to your doctor about it because there is medication that can help you to feel less stressed and unhappy. My husband is a veteran and he suffers from PTSD with depression and your symptoms are the same as his when he's off his meds or when they're not working well for him anymore. When he's correctly medicated he's happy, more relaxed and does not lash out at people. So, take the first step and see your doctor to be evaluated for depression.

I also feel that before when i lost my family and i was on my darkest moment of my life.I got separated with the father of my daughter and it seems the whole world was against me.Theres one person that i thought was a good friend betrayed me and made up things against me.I don't where to run.I was left alone with no one around me to comfort me but i have a daughter that act as my angel.She give me strenght and i always keep my faith.I try to face the trials no matter how hard and painful it was.I keep going carrying the pain in my heart and keep believing that God will give me light.Until it came.Now, i have a family of own and live happily.Be strong for your son.Let him be your inspiration to keep moving and ask guidance to the Lord.He will help you cope up with everything.

It sounds to me like you are stuck in the grieving process.There are certain phases that everyone goes through when they have lost a loved one.How old is your son,how has he dealt with this? I think it would be a good idea to seek therapy and maybe get on some anti anxiety medication for awhile.I don't think numbing yourself with too many medications will help,you have to feel these things and get through the grieving process so that you can move on with your life.Your boyfriend can be supportive,however he can't make it all go away you really have to do the work. I am so sorry to hear of your loss,I hope your son is doing well, Good luck to you, Jas

I use to manage stress, listening musiq, playing violen and i like chocolates, and i feel i get refreshed after having my chocolates. And best remedy is Meditation, try breathing exercise, it will help you balance and handle stress.
