What do you do when you are stressed?

Hi Danzylop, Along with the stress, does depression also rear its face?. The symptoms are that you want to be alone at all times. I think that everyone faces this problem except for a few enlightened souls. I cure myself by 1, Giving up self-pity which is the "why me?" approach. 2. Analysis of the events which led up to the crisis. This will probably show that you are also at fault, not only the injuring parties. I will strongly advocate against praying or reading as these activities involve only you. Company of others does wonders for you. And the ultimate clincher is that situations are bound to get better. About 95% of human beings go through a Ferris Wheel in our lives. Up and down and then up and down again. you really can't do anything about it-so why worry!! Have a gala time with your friends. Life is short and there is no time to waste feeling stressed or depressed.

Sometimes I don't realize how much stress is building up until I suddenly feel overwhelmed. Other times, several stressful or attention-demanding events will happen at once, and I suddenly go from calm to completely overwhelmed really quickly. However it happens, how can I quickly calm down when I'm feeling overwhelmed by stress? I usually take a walk. Exercise can be a great stress reliever in itself, as it helps you blow off steam and releases endorphins. Taking a walk when stressed provides the bonus of getting you out of the stressful situation and providing some perspective so you can return in a new frame of mind. Also, I take a mental break. If you can steal away a few minutes of peace, visualizations and guided imagery are a wonderful way to restore peace of mind. They're easy to do, and can relax you physically as well as mentally.

Hello danzy, SLeep, that's what would i do first, getting tired or lack of sleep can also results to stress. i noticed this when ever i sleep late or lack of hours sleep i couldn't help being angry when there's a situation that i couldn't control. . of course, my mom understands since it's not easy to do things that weren't used to do.

I will take my time to sit and think of what to do. I will listen to the music and lock myself up. I will face the problem..

If I were stressed, I'll be painting, writing, drawing i dont knowww, every thing that i could do using my hands helps to stop my stress This month, I have been painting my wall, on it Im writing my favourite songs, at the end will be nice to see, i hope haha

i listen to music, take baths, watch a favorite program, or something amongst similars lines. just anything to take my mind off or avoid thinking of the situation stressing me out.

My remedies for stress include listening to the music of my favorite artists, spending time with friends, walking my dogs or walking by myself. I also like to take rides and go sit by the ocean. Whenever you sit by the ocean you and your problems always seem very small compared to the rest of the world-- if you have never tried it I highly suggest it ;)

When I am stressed out I tend to get on my treadmill and get rid of all the stress by running or I might go to sleep and hope that I'm better when I wake up. It does help for a while but then I have to get back to doin what I was doin before and I get stressed out all over again.

when m stressed out.. i do not read book it because it would stress me out even more. i have not even tried praying. when i am stressed i usually turn on my i-pod and listen to good music. that is the first thing that i would try to release my stress. another thing that i could try is that i would take a shower :) yes its true when m stressed i take a shower and i feel comfortable seriously. i just get a hold at first and then face the problem with full confidence. i think we all should face our problems with confidence that way we will never get into stress.

I usually would face the source of the stress head on. I will do everything to overcome it by taking steps to eliminate the problem. For instance, too many bills to pay can be one source of stress. I do my best to settle the ones that need immediate attention.
