lizbeth0808	you're talking to queen of overreacting about stress. My boyfriend has to constantly keep me in check, which he honestly has gotten sick of doing. So I'vfe tried to just take one thing at a time. If you are still in HS, then I guess I can't really help you because you don't have bills to worry about being paid. But you just kind of have to force yourself to not thinki about everything at once. Just make sure to take long deep breaths when you are feeling stressed out. 4 seconds in, hold 4 seconds, 4 seconds out, hold 4 seconds. Part of my stress was being angry about certain things in my past that was making tense and that still kind of had to do with things going on in my present. I made a list of everything I was angry about. at first it was really just to see how much I was really angry and frustrated about. My boyfriend happened to find it, handed it to me and said rip it up. I told him to but he refused. He was like, "no, there's a reason I'm telling you to rip it up, just do it" So I did. It's a psychological technique. Ripping it up symbolized it being gone. So far it has worked and that was about.. a month ago. Unfortunatly I'm also the queen of negativity and poor self image. So I've kind of forced myself not to say negative things and even if I didn't SAY postive things, I tried to force myself to at least think them. Just take it slowly. Also, if you are old enough to drink, or if you are not in highschool but are able to be a RESPONSIBLE drinker (I'm not trying to promote anything bad here) then it's proven many doctors recomend one drink a day because it lowers stress levels. Strictly! one drink. I choose mikes hard lemonade or something that comes in a pack like that instead of getting harder stuff. I have with my dinner or something. It has also helped me and even with the alcoholic tendencies in my family I have not become irresponsible. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

iceprincess34_2000	You need to realize that everything will work out so don't panic. You obviously are overwhelmed. Take one thing at a time and focus on that. Stressing out isn't going to help the situation any and it is wasted energy, when you could be using it towards working on some of the issues. If there are some things you have no control over, don't think about them. Those will work themselves out eventually. Focus on what you do have control over. Also, eating the foods you are eating is only going to make the situation worse. Eat healthier (protein, fruits, vegetables, etc.). Remember, foods you eat like sugar, etc. can effect your moodswings. Try some camomile tea. This is a natural relaxant and also get some Calcium tablets. Calcium helps with the nervous system and will help calm you down. Remember there isn't anything you can't handle. Just calm down, relax and focus on what you can, one item at a time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

AManda	I can relate since I get extremely stressed out. Just RELAXXX. Plan out a day to day schedule to get your work done, just don't over do it. Plan "Me" time in which you can take a bath, listen to calming music, read, do relaxing things. Planning is key. Do what you feel you can do and nothing more. Let things out, talk and just vent! Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sundaizie ♥~♥	You don't say how old you are..but sounds like if you are home all day you might be married?? if you've NEVER experienced this type of stress .. make an appointment with you internest and get a good overall checkup complete with blood work. I know....but it's important that you do this..this isi a serious change in behavior for you. Now...having said that..if you feel like this from time to time.. except for the hair pulling, welcome to the club. Most of us feel overwheled about 15% of the time..(my figure♥) Only you can tell how bad this really is. Sometimes just getting out and getting some walking in...with a good friend who will chat about stuff...is the best help you can get! I can't strees (^) enough...evaluate how you are REALLY TRULY feeling and then act accordingly. As far as the choc. chips go..? Throw them away..it's either the garbage can or your waist line...think about it??!! No one will know or care what you throw out..Next time you shop, just be a little more carefull..you can't eat if if you don't bring it home! p.s. Sometimes I allow myself to fall into a funk just because I fell like being left alone. You might allow some "down time" we all need that and some of ous feel guilty if we are not pushing o9urselves over the edge 100% of the time. Try to lighten up abit on your own expectations..trust me..on this ..I know from where I speak! Give yourself a hug..from me..a friend! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bette	This works great - a professional massage! You will not regret it, it's worth the fee and much better than chips and chocolate. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ceilidh	if part of your problem is that you have a lot to get done write a list, check off each thing as you get them done this will make you feel more organized. Have a hot bath before bed for the stress and read a book to wind down at night before bed so that you are focused on reading as opposed to having so many thoughts reeling through your mind right before trying to go to sleep, if you still can't sleep take a gravol or sleeping pill. Exercise when you feel like eating away your problems this creates endorphins which will make you feel better. also keep your house really clean, clutter will only make you feel worse because you have a harder time relaxing in a disorganized environment (it makes you feel disorganized and frazzled adding to your stress), last but not least BREATHE, remind yourself that stressing isn't going to make things go away its only making it harder to do what needs to be done, focus on the now and try to not worry about what needs to be done next week, one day at a time, one hour at a time, that's all you can do. And as for everyone one that keeps suggesting antidepressants i don't agree because they can be addicting and make it hard to get off of them again (I'm speaking from experience), if your feeling depressed vitamin B12 or go and talk to someone in a health food store about other alternatives before going on antidepressants good luck hope this helps :) Was this answer helpful to you?
