What helps you when you are stressed out?

Hello Dominique, A good body massage and sleep help me relieve the stress. I also tend to binge out when i am totally mad over something. Good thing, I don't get fat easily! I also like being with just myself whenever something is bothering me. A walk in the park or a couple of minutes in church helps me clear out my head

Usually, I do something that excited to me. In online ways I update my mobile site or helping other mylotters solving their problems.

I would say that most of us, if not all of us get stress, but not all of us suffer from stress. Stress is a part of day to day life and there are times when we need that for our own protection/survivial. This is something that prehistoric humans used to survive so that they could fight or flee a potential danger. But today, stress still sees non-dangerous things as dangerous at a subconscious level, but there are ways to deal with it. As a therapist, I support people in making the subconscoius conscious so that the person has greater awareness of exactly what is going on the deeper mind and nervous system. One of the best ways of doing this is to develop techniques that will assist a person in digging deeper into the mind. Meditation is one such technique that I have used to with my clients, but it takes discipine, but everyone who has committed to the discipline, has found an new ability to deal with stress and learn how to release it. This is because I believe that we each hold the answer deep in our minds to every predicament and self-knowledge gained through meditation is a powerful way to access the knowledge. _Derek

You right, my friend. There's a lot of trials in this world. Like today I suffer heavy problems in this life... This really unavoidable and no escape suffering from all of this hindrances in life. But you know my friend. I don't bother to all those things...what the best I can do is to pray. It will make me very much easier to face my problem. Because at the moment no one will help me...other than our Dear God. No listen to me...but only him. Even my wife who must be the one who rely on...but she is the one to push me down. Really sad but those trials come on me was nothing because I have the great power of God on me...

HI there, whenever i feel stress and anxiety I just choose to sleep all day and eat a lot to escape my stressful life.

I had to go for stress management to deal with my anxiety, and the first thing you are told is to calm down, have a massage, and do meditation. Breathing is an important element here as when you breathe in deep and slowly, you cut the momentum of the anxiety. Your heart races when you are anxious and you are highly strung during that time you are stressed. Cut out coffee with caffeine, drink lots of water, do deep breathing exercises for a few minutes every day, take a nap in the afternoon.

In real life, we have to deal with all kinds of issues and will get stress easily. To ease the stress, I will listen to the music, have a walk or do something I like to do. For example, sewing, have a cup of tea, go shopping and give myself a treat. Sometimes chatting with friends will also help me forget the trouble and ease the worries.

I try to look at the good things. Talk to people who care...see if they can think of a solution etc. I find though when im stressed i tend to be an emotional eater. It doesnt really "help" make the stress causes go away or even fix them but it makes me feel a touch better when i do it. Fully aware its not a good habit to have though.

I have high blood pressure and it rises when I stress. I now take two medicine pills, but the thing I do now is concentrate on a kitten that now comes to my door for food. I think about that little kitten bravely coming up to me and "meowing" and my stress goes down. I also play music to calm me down or listen to one of my comic albums on the record player.

Very difficult my sisters facing such problems since she got married. Now children are growing but God not gives her money and childs always feeling illness no proper eating we help her but not can do fully. She always told us God are seeing one day they will do something but full 20 years gone still she are facing financial problems, health problems.

I listen to soft music and lay down. I also pray too.

I have PTSD and a Generalized Anxiety disorder. I am at point in my life I do not need medication anymore, but before getting help I would panic, and go outside and get fresh air,and sometimes breathe into a paper bag. Noone needs to suffer from anxiety and stress.....your mind can make you feel like you are dying when panicky, so I am all for medication for panic and anxiety disorders.

i walk. i head out in a random direction and keep walking until i have calmed down.this has always worked for me.

I listen to music and will have hot coffee at frequent intervals when I'm stressed at work. If it's a personal life stress then I try to analyse the situation. If that does'nt help I will go for a long drive. Sometimes I will play with my kid. This is really a very good stress-buster

I usually drink coffee.. and I talk to my hubby..that's it.. In that way I already released my stress..:)

For me the best way to avoid stress, or to deal with the stress that I can not avoid, is to listen to music. I have thousands of songs in my iPod and iPhone that I take with me everywhere. I find that music can cure just about anything, and relax me, no matter what is happening. If I absolutely need to get out of the house, I go to the coffee shop for a few hours.

People may go through such situations and feel axtious about future,but maybe this is normal and we may overcome it soon.The big city makes me feel stressed and even can't breath the healthy air.But anyway,i still have my dream ahead and know exactly what i'm gonna do.lol.Have a nice day.

Being alone, escense a sun bath (no sun) a hot tub (no bath)

Whenever I am stressed I just listen to songs of michael jackson,and the stress is gone.His voice is reall wonderful and calming so hearing it gives me peace of mind.I wish he didn't pass away.He is really a wonderful treasure lost.:(

Meditation has proven time and again a way to just clear my head of all stress and worries, but I realize that's not an option for everyone. Whenever I can't find the time to do that, I just drag along my sketchbook with me and draw or write or scribble until I feel better. I listen to music that latches onto my soul because it helps me feel like someone out there understands what I'm going through, and it's one of the greatest things ever. I also end up folding origami when I'm really stressed, as it gives my hands something to do and lets me focus on the folds and the creases instead of my problems for a while.
