What should we do 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.

It all depends how you see and interpret what you read in these books. For me personally no, since i'm not very religious in the first place, but someone who is when they read the bible or the quran, depending on their religion, their minds interpret what they read according to their beliefs. In other words the more religious you are, the more deeper you will take in the teachings in these books. Personally i think it's all a mind game, "you see what you want to see" kind of thing, if you're predetermined to believing this, then what you read will have a bigger effect on you, therefore relieving stress as well as finding solutions to any personal problems, like in your case, but again you must believe in the first place for any of this to happen.
