What should we do in these circumstances?
In panic non-believers behave differently than believers. They have no one to return to, to ask for mercy and forgiveness, their life is this life, which they cannot control, thus get more depressed and increase in their state of wrong doing. Then we will see that if they are used to casual drinking will start drinking more and become alcoholic, or a barbital criminal.
On the other hand a believer should do the following:
a. Increase dhikr (Remembrance of God)
"who have believed and whose heart have Rest in the remembrance of God. Verify in the remembrance of God, do hearts find rest." Quran 13:28
b. Increase their prayer.
"O you who believe, seek help with steadfastness and prayer. For God is with those who are steadfast." Quran 2:153
c. Ask forgiveness
"And I have said: seek forgiveness from your Lord. Lo He was ever forgiving." Quran 71:10
In addition to above we are also asked to continue to struggle to up-grade ourselves.
" surely God does not change the condition in which a people are in until they change that which is in themselves." Quran 13:11
In summary, I conclude that stress results from lack of inner peace due to conflicts within us and leads to external disturbances in our behavior and health. Inner peace can only be achieved by believing in God, the All Mighty, and remembering him frequently and asking for his help and forgiveness in times of difficulties.

EVERYTHING DEALING WITH LIFE IS IN THE BIBLE. However, you may have to have some guidance in seeking these answers from the printed page, as we all know, the Bible can be one of the most hardest books to interpret. Consult your clergyman. Attend Bible studies. They can help you with what you seek.

In the Bible:
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Hope this helps.

I can't remember the exact verse, but you are supposed to give all your worries to the Lord in prayer.
