They said, the best way to manage stress is you need to be surrounded by supportive people. You need someone to talk to for your stress levels down. How about me, I have no one to talk to! That's why I'm stressed because of people around me. What will happen now?

A lot of advice on stress, though well meaning, doesn't give any advice on stress caused by relationships with people close to us. I think because its a difficult and complicated issue, but in reality an awful lot of stress is caused by relationships with other people. you are probably going to have to do your own research on this, unless you can find a relationship counsellor and talk. sometimes in relationships we can develop patterns of behaviour almost by accident, that can unintentionally have a negative impact on the other person. you might be able to find an interesting book to read on this, as it may just be a few small changes you need to make to make things better. but when you have a small child you want to try to avoid being stressed so i would do a bit of research, as it is an interesting subject, and the more people who understand these things the better.

Well, I don't mind being stressed with other people because as long as I know who I am and whatever these people would say bad things about me. It's their opinion and I'm entitled also with my opinion. As long as they are not harassing me I don't care but if they do I'll seek legal counsel for them to learn. Dying to seek for advice for real counselor. Really. Though I found it here but I really wanted to talk to professional adviser in which I can talk to him/her without hesitation and he/she can give me advice professionally. Books are fine and much better if you can provide me the title and sites where I can download it online without charge.

hello jenith, i tend to find information from lots of different places, but i found this website which seemed quite interesting, the person who runs it suggests little tests you try on yourself, and that seems quite useful. http://www.professional-counselling.com/relationship-problem-advice.html this website seems to cover a lot of things, in reasonable detail, but obviously not in great depth, but if you read something that makes sense you can do a bit research. i shall see if i can find anything else.

Yeah mylot is the best. I find it relax and stress free here but I also need to settle myself and find solutions to all my problems which I think only my hubby can resolve. Hope one day he would realize it and find ways for me to be happy.

Coming to MyLot and talking to people has always been really helpful to me. I am sorry that you do not have anyone close where you are that you can talk to.

I have no one close to since I work abroad. When I came back I can't find them anymore. Some got married and too busy with their kids and some work in far away place.

When I happen to meet with the situation, there are two ways of relaxing myself which are provided as your reference. One is to change your clothes and run on the playground till you are all of a sweat. Then you could go for a shower and the good mood will come back. The other is to go to cinema or go home for watching the movies or TV that could draw yourself from the stress till you feel the stress is not a big deal in your head any more. Wish these two ways being helpful for you.

I think you just have to talk to yourself if you are those people are worth stressing for. Because if not, don't waste your time to them. Just seat back, relax and try to think over. If there are no positive people around you, why not making yourself one. Why not the positive vibes starts with you and try to spread that to people around you so that you won't be stressed anymore. :) Cheer up

I got married 4 yrs ago and I guess we are still in adjustment period. Really stressful and everything turns into a mess. I can't do whatever I want.

I relieve stress by walking, cycling, going to cinemas, watch tv, read books or hear good music. If don't have someone to talk to, talk to yourself. The best way to release your tension is to know more about yourself. Cheers!

Try taking up a sport or exercising. Exercise is one of the best stress-relievers. What I like to do whenever I'm in a bad mood and under a lot of stress is to go for a run, this is usually during the evenings. I take out my ipod and listen to music while I run too so it drowns out the rest of the world and all I'm doing is listening to the song (usually something lively, I like to listen to some form of rock while running) and running. It's both healthy and helps you feel better. Afterwards, usually about half an hour or so for me, I feel tired and forget about my problems. Afterwards a long hot shower really helps you relax too. Hope this helps you because it really helps me :)
