"Golly helen k! I'm not certain about what you ask, but, I'll presume you want to know how to stay calm in different situations. Right?
The examples I draw from come from my personal knowledge of war, doctors, scientists, etc.
I was trained, extensively, how to witness carnage and pay little attention to it to complete my mission. If you desire methods for maintaining calm during sever conflict, read any of the many stories from Veterans who have survived it. They remain scared all through their tests of courage; however, they keep their heads and function dispite the terror. It is because of the severe training.
Doctors face death of their patients constantly. They have been trained to recognize the extent of damage and solve the patients dilemma while casting aside the horrors of the injuries.
It appears that all of us have the ability to stay somewhat calm during catastrophy, even though we're shocked by our witnessing the various perils of mankind. You've got to stay focused to overcome problems you face. You've got to stay cool, at all times, and continue to think of answers to solve the problems at hand. I bet you can do that. You've probably already done quite a few and you seek, now, to get even better at it by suppressing the hights of emotion which might cause conflict between taking action or doing nothing. I'll bet your on your way."

While most of us never have to deal with the life-or-death dilemmas of a bomb squad, everyday situations, such as job interviews, public speaking, and family emergencies, can be every bit as stressful if we're not accustomed to dealing with them. Learning how to remain calm in times of stress will not only make things go more smoothly immediately, it can also, over time, help you lead a healthier, happier life. Here's how to keep your cool when the pressure mounts:

1. Facing your stress head-on and doing something about your stressor is really just a way to shake off stress about a situation that you cannot or should not ignore. Once you've resolved the underlying problem, you can shake off the stress because it no longer matters.

2. Many stressful situations are avoidable. If you prepare ahead of time for important events and make contingency plans, you may not have to cope with as much stress later. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

3. Chew gum. It has been shown that the action of chewing can reduce stress; This is why many people who are under constant stress tend to overeat. Chewing gum is a healthier alternative if this method works for you.

4. Focus on someone else who is in the same situation as you and try to tune in to that person's calm. Remember that if he or she isn't nervous, you probably don't have to be.

5. If physically able, hit something. Punch a pillow, kick the couch, squeeze the heck out of a stuffed toy, etc. You'd be surprised at how quickly physical venting can reduce stress.

If you experience chronic stress, if you find yourself frequently breaking down in tears, rapidly gaining or losing weight, or experiencing a diminished sex drive? See a doctor about your symptoms. You may have an anxiety disorder or other illness.

Goodluck!

It sounds like a combination of all of those things you mentioned. I'm sorry you don't have a really special lady to share love with right now. I think it's not healthy to be alone for too long. Pills and beer are not a good idea, especially if you take them together. You could develop a dependence on alcohol or drugs, that would take you a long time to get control of. My husband had a longtime problem with alcohol and he has taken it into control completely. Not everyone is so strong or so lucky. If you don't have a particular sport you enjoy now, take some time to run or take long walks. When you are outside walking, gardening or just enjoying nature, your mind will clear and two things can happen if you allow it. You can get a clear picture of some things that have been bothering you, that you might not be aware of. Pay attention since it could be important. The other thing that can happen is that some solutions will begin to present themselves to you. You need to get regular exercise for general stress reduction. I hope it all works out. I have enjoyed your questions on here. I tried to e-mail you once but Yahoo won't let me do it.

If one experiences oneself to be calm, usually, then if one is oneself in any situation, one will be calm. The key question is can one allow oneself to experience calmness? Many do not experience being calm, but consider an absence of stress to be calmness.

Being calm means to be within ones Apapsyche, where one experiences being Neutral. As an observer of what is happening around one, but not the doer of what is happening. Calm means no judgment, no attachment to what one is observing... and this requires quite a bit of detachment... which is unusual except for those who have been practicing meditation for an extended number of years.

So, in answer to the question, the way one stays calm in different life situations is to remain within oneself and observe the situations with objectivity.

Peace

take a deeeeeep breath and count to 10, then tell yourself(mentally) don't panic and pretend to be calm(lets' face it a lot of people who look calm probadly are'nt but they figure that if they look calm then nobody else will panic) and who knows you may fool yourself into being calm. subsequently you may think about the various life situations that you may encounter and think about what you might do, so that if it really happens then you are mentally prepared and would be more likely to be calm.
i hope that this would help.
God bless,

depends on how different.....minor changes in scenery should not be upsetting.....now if you were to move to an entirely different culture then i would suggest you read extensively about where you are going...apprehension is normal....you should be more clear about what the change is here
