How do you handle stress?

Tweet

2 yrs. ago I was diagnosed to have a manic depression.My energy level is deteriorating and I don't want anymore to do things that I usually do like reading inspirational books, playing with my son, strolling at the mall and worst, I don't have the zest to work anymore which in my case, is hard to believe.The reason according to my psychologist why I feel that way is because of STRESS..Too much stress can worsen our health because I was not eating healthy foods then but rather, I was engrossed in junk foods and my partner for beverage is the soft drinks.At first I just ignore the signs of dizziness and my monthly menstruation at that time got worse, bleeding heavily.At one time, when i could not take it anymore and I was scared that I am sick, I consult my OB-Gynecologist and the result is that I have a Hormonal Imbalance thus the heavy bleeding and the result is dizziness.She gave me Vitamins to take during my heavy days and was advised to take a complete rest. At that time,my feelings worsen because I pity myself.I would suddenly cry for no apparent reason and would sulk to my loneliness.I thank my mother because she cling to me and also my husband and my son.They were very supportive of me.They let me read an inspirational books and I would read it and put into mind all the key messages that would uplift me. Looking back, I was grateful because I have overcome it. For those who feel somehow they are stress, try the following, maybe it could help you: Listen to a lively music (don't listen to a slow ones or any love songs because it would just sulk you into loneliness), read an inspirational stories or books, mingle with your family and for once, forget all your problems, Always pray to the Lord for guidance and for enlightenment, stroll down the mall (Do window shopping if you don't have a budget,hehe), and last but not the least, Do things that you do before.
