how do you deel with stress if nothing you do works?

Question

I have to much stress on my hands and to much work to do at school I've tryed allmost every thing to come down and try to do my work can you help me ?

Answer 1

I feel your pain. I take a deep breath, in and out for like 15 minutes, while I do nothing but lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling. I take a walk when I get home, no matter what's waiting on me. I listen to my MP3 to nothing but upbeat stuff.
I've tried to stop "venting" when I get home about work, because it just brings it home with you. Look at home as your "soft place to fall", and keep it sacred that way. Figure out something you REALLY like to do, and just do it. If you can make time for this hectic world, you can make time for you. Don't end up with a stomach ulcer, Girl! You have to FORCE yourself to take some time out JUST for you. Go get a pedicure, once a month or something JUST for you. Think of yourself, and do for YOU sometimes. After all, you're always going to be in this crazy world, you might as well be a little selfish to stay sane, SOMETIMES!

Answer 2

Everybody is different, and what works for me might not work for you....But I'll tell you what has helped me in the past.

1. Visit your doctor and have tests run. Sometimes our hormones are not at the right levels, and this causes our bodies and brains not to work OK.
2. Check your habits. Are you eating right, exercising and sleeping enough? Do you smoke? Try changing some habits if you think you can.
3. Sometimes talking to others can help you vent and get a fresh perspective on things. Try to go to counseling or therapy so a trained professional can help you deal with the issues you are having trouble with now.

Be honest with yourself and try to make a list of pros and cons. See what is good in your life and what isn't; and then see if you can change or alter things that stress you out.
Good luck ...and try to focus on things that you know are important but may be getting out of hand.

There are a couple of practical steps you can take. The first thing is to write down all the jobs/work you have to do. Mark down when each thing is due. Schedule realistic times to do the work and wherever possible, schedule in breaks for yourself as well. Prioritise your workload by the due dates i.e. what needs done first. You might have to juggle 3 or 4 items eg. research for one project, write up something for another project and so on. Your schedule should be done in two hour slots e.g. two hours on one project doing research and then stop that. Two hours on your write up for the other project then stop that. Break in between your two hours slots of 10-20 minutes. You will find that if you concentrate only on what is in front of you, knowing that the rest is scheduled in for another time, it will put your mind at rest. Keep a calendar of when you do this work. Look at your calendar daily to remind you to add in things and check your progress. Organisation and prioritisation are the key factors and that is part of the education process. Cut out needless activity too but remind yourself that you need breaks and fun! Eventually, when you have a homework calendar set up and running, you will find that things just 'happen' and you get better and better at using the time you have to best effect. Good luck.

Not sure what this has to do with the Marriage & Divorce category. But, if if you are married, have sex more often. Sex does relieve stress. Take a bath & enjoy some quality time alone in the bath tub, whether married or not. Listen to relaxing music while doing your work. Delegate responsibilties if you have too many chores to do. A back & neck massage would also help relax you. If you are married, ask your husband to give you a full body massage. If not, ask your best friend. Never hurts to ask!

Answer 5

Make a list of the things that is stressing you out. Number them according to the one causing you the most stress.
( Number 1 being the most stressful, 2 being the next, etc.) Go through your list and try to cross off the ones that you can deal with and get it completely off your chest. Eventually you will be able to find your priorities and you will be able to deal a little better when it all pops up again.

Answer 6

perhaps you are doing too much,or waiting too long to get started, then the pressure to get it all done can be stressful, you need to remember there is only 24 hours in a day take away 8 for rest leaves you 16 you need to use that time wisely, also take "you time" take it from someone who has alot more years of stress than you, looking back it was not worth the heartburn.i wish i had not worried so much about things that in the end were not that important,

Answer 7

well, everyone is different. and a little stress actually helps you do better work, but if your about to the point where your going to pull out your hair, maybe you should take a break? day off/ week w/e. just hang out with your friends, laugh (its one of the best cures, when you laugh it makes u feel happy and better XD) so have a day or an hour to yourelf and have some fun and laugh!!! if your at school take a few min. once and a while for yourself. and work do the same, :D

Answer 8

Depends on what's CAUSING the stress and how you're trying to deal with it.

How much responsibility have you heaped upon your own plate?

Personally, I find that a good hot shower (or bath) followed by a cocktail is nice. Taking a long walk helps.

Also, if you have someone to do it, some massage therapy works wonders; especially after that hot shower/bath.

Answer 9

Well I dont know your whole situation but I see two options. the first being drop something that is adding to your stress such as work/school/bf or gf/a pet that requires too much attention. If you can not or will not drop something then option number two is to see someone who can ither help you through therapy or medication.

Answer 10

Avoid hassles.Identify the things that are making you feel stressed out and either eliminate them from your life or prepare yourself to cope with them.

Take a day off, Get regular exercise ,practice deep breathing.
