What is the most stressful thing you did, or you can do, and why? Have you been stressed and you have said to yourself it was too much for you? Some people gradually learn what their own limitations and are manage to avoid exceedingly stressful situations. Do you agree? Why? Any ideas to share?

Well i really can't say what is the most stressful thing I did or can do but just this evening I was really stressed out not by what I had to do but because of my driver. I don't know where he went or what he had to do but I was kept waiting outside of a mall for almost an hour with no communication or response from him. I had to take a cab home since i didn't know where he was but what really stressed me out was my not knowing what happened to him or if he was in an accident and so forth. I reached home tired and out of sorts since it really was so difficult getting a cab and add that to my worry about him, it really stressed me out. what would i advise? i think the best thing to do is to stop worrying about something you cannot do anything about, think up what is the best thing to do or what you can deliver, do it and then stop worrying whether its okay or not. In other words, you can do just what you can do and no amount of worrying or feeling tense about it will solve whatever it is you failed to do. So why stress yourself out?

At this point in my life my wedding is beginning to be the most stressful thing. It's not because of what all I haven't done it's because of what all our party hasn't done ie buy wedding attire. 4 months before the wedding and nothing is ordered. This is where I start to pull my hair out. Lol.
What I usually do to alleviate stress is do everything that needs to be done by myself. Because then I know it's getting done. However with this case I can't really do much and I can't afford to have both the mens and girls dresses and suits on my credit card. So needless to say I'm just stressed over all :) But getting it out feels soo much better :) thanks

Oh I can imagine what you are saying, I would be very stress too if I am in that situation, and yes you can't do both on your own. You really need somebody to sort out these things with you atleast it won't be that much burden if somebody can help or will be there for you in everything you do. Good luck and best wishes on your wedding.

Oh believe me I've created a solution for my stress.
I told the girls. "If you can't be respectful enough to get these dresses ordered in time for my wedding then you are not the friend I thought you were."
(these girls have known about the wedding for 2 years now so needless to say there isn't an excuse they can really give me)
I have said. "If the dress order is not placed by the end of december then don't bother" They won't be in my wedding if they can't do this small task and the only task I might add besides showing up at the church that i've given them.

yes coping with stress is important to our mental health,
I would say working in telemarketing was the most stressful on me, I am glad I do not have to do that anymore.

The first thing that came to mind when I read your question was the time my daughter and I was delivering cars. We drove a F350 pickup truck with dual rear wheels and pulled a 20 ft. trailer with a car tied down on it. We traveled all over this country and for the most part we had a very good time. But one time we had to go across Texas. Unfortunately the weather wasn't to good and we found ourselves going through El Paso Tx after dark and in the rain. Not only was traffic very heavy but there was a lot of construction being done to the highway so there were a lot of lane shifts and detours. The people who lived in El Paso were used to driving in this so they just zipped along around us with no compassion. I don't know how we ever got through there without hitting someone.
I have since tried to avoid driving at night as much as possible because I realize that I can't see as well in the dark as I used to and feel like everyone would be safer if I stayed off the roads after dark. This also helps with my nerves.

If I find myself in a stressful situation like someone gets annoyed and you don't know why .I breath deeply and get tunnel vision and get away from the situation as quick as I can.I don't listen appologise even if I don't know what I am apologising for it does not matter,like I said keep quiet and remove myself as quick as possible not looking back.If it is someone I know ,I just say it is not the right time for this and ask them to leave and I will see them later.It works for me.

Not sure on the most stressful, but near the top would be completing my dissertation for college. I had to write 9000 words about a chosen topic (I did video game addiction) and I found it very hard to complete. I was so glad when I completed it, but I stayed up for many endless hours! I had to constantly backup everything I said with quotes, and spent most of my time reading.

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.
