Question: I'm going through stress!. Plz help!. 10 points!!!?
Today I have been so stressed, that I have been hyper ventalating and having Ashtma attacks and minor stomach aches!. I've been stressed because of a change in my life that caused me to abandon my bestest friend and be with newer people!. I have tried making a new friend with this other person and her mom doesn't seem to like me and I have always been polite to her and her family!. It is hard getting to know the person I want to be friends with!. New souroundings are hard for me because I have fear of strangers!. Also, the school year is ending and I'm going to miss another friend that I deeply care about!. Also, I'm not doing well in my religion too!. I haven't been myself lately!. I'm usually a person who expresses concern for my responsiblites and who works hard!. If you have any suggestions to help me I would deeply apprecate that and give you 10 points!. Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have read many of your questions and answers that you give!. I know that you are a Witness, and it made me very sad to know that you are not doing well spiritually!. I am a 19 year old guy and i have gone through hard times and i know that the only reason that i am who i am today is because of Jehovah!. He has made me who i am, i still need a lot of work in doing what God asks of me!. But the only reason that makes it hard for me is my self, and how far i have drifted from Jehovah's organization!. My life feels like its falling apart and i feel some times like i cant go on, just because i know that out side of Jehovah there is nothing!. but what i am trying to tell you is that never loose faith in Jehovah, please ask him to give you faith to give you help, to show you the way!. You know that he is there to help you, and talk to someone you know that you trust to help you with your stress!. But just take some time for your self and think about the direction in life you are going, what you goals!. Go to the park, take a book, the bible, your thoughts, go to the beach, a river something calm!. this is also a great way to reflect on life and a NUMBER 1 in reducing stress, its what doctors recommend!. About your friends, do the same evaluate the situation take some time off!. But please think about your spirituality "Jehovah" is always there, don't over see his help!. If you have any other questions just post them and i will read and answer to my best knowledge!. Best hopes, and remember we are not just a religion we are a family!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I lost my husband of 35 years four years ago and I know what stress is!. everyday I pray to Jehovah God and Jesus Christ to get threw each day and I always feel there arms around me and tell me everything will be ok!. going to the meetings and studying help me also!. I look to my daughter who is mentally handicapped and is 29 and my son who is a brother also and he is 26 and he has mild c p (he is not in a wheelchair)!. you should be at the meetings because the brothers and sisters are all going threw stress also!. we have to hang on!. we also have to be careful who our friends are!. yes school is alot of stress also!. remember summer is here and have fun!. when you feel like hyper ventilating like I do all the time!. I start to talk with Jehovah!. it always helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com
Well, everyone needs help sometimes and you can't always be the person who solves everyone elses problems because you can't please all the people all the time!. Try focusing on yourself!. Religion, responsibilities, and hard work are all great but if you're not happy with your situation, it doesn't mean a thing!. New people and surroundings are sometimes hard, but sometimes they are a blessing!. You can forget about many of the woes that haunted you in the past and get a new start!. There are going to be people (or parents) out there that are anal, but just let them go somewhere else where they can live with their miserable selves and leave you out of it!. You don't need that **** anyway, you're still young!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I want you to know that Im not answering your question for only points! I have been where you are!. The end of the school year is very overwhelming for a young lady who feels like shes abandoning people that are close to you in a stressful time in your life!. You can always make time each week to spend time with them ya know just because the school years ends doesnt mean your friendship has to!. Preventing asthma attacks triggered by hyperventilation can be reduced by stress relievers like yoga or meditation!. Stress can change you but you can overcome this!. Be positive, stay involved with your friends and family, exercise, go to a movie, keep a journal, call a friend, and volunteering , stay busy so your mind doest dwell on the stressors!. Best of luck to ya!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
There is a lot you can do!. You are a "sensitive soul" which means you are more sensitive to the feelings of others than most people!. This is also your greatest gift!. In order to take care of yourself, you need quiet peaceful spaces, like the park!. When you are in nature, it enables you to find your internal balance so you can figure out what happened with your friends!. It also helps you center and find your comfort zone!. By taking this "quiet time" in nature, you will feel more confident as to who you are and will not be Soho stressed as to meeting new people!. As far as the meeting of new people, Take deep breaths, and remember how wonderful you are!. ( you will remember this fro your time in nature when you found how peaceful and calm you are by nature) While you are in that nature, take time while the world is quiet to talk to your God!. Take time to listen to the wisdom that it has to offer you!. A lot of times, there is too much noise in the world, or we are too distracted to listen to God!. By quieting yourself in nature you can hear the wisdom that can help you remember you are not lost, and that there is a plan for you!. Give this time to yourself regularly, because it sounds like you are a person who is more concerned for others needs than for your own!. By Filling your own "Love Cup" and taking the time to meet your own needs for serenity and reflection, you will have much more to give others in your life!. It may also give you perspective as to how to heal the relationship with your best friend( Who still cares about you)!. Ashtma attacks are product of you getting too stressed and by not living your life in truth!. Speak your truth to your friends, as you will, and you will not bring on the anxiety that leads to asthma attacks!. Your truth will set you free!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Are you close to your parents or some other family member you can confide in!? Sound like you really need to talk to someone about what you're going through!. I need more information about the religious problems you're having to help you there!. As far as your new friend goes, all things are new at one time, but then we get used to them and they're not new and strange anymore!. Next time you're at her house, with her mom, compliment her mom about something!. Tell her she has a nice home and you feel so comfortable there!. Be sure to say please and thank you at all times!. You know, some people are just "funny!." Her mom's behavior may have nothing to do with you!. She's probably like you and not comfortable getting to know new people!. Give it time, it'll get better!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi
It really sounds like some anxiety and with asthma it would be prudent to see your physician and share the physiological issues!.
Regarding your friends, life has taught me a couple of things!.
1!. When one window shuts - a new one opens!. It may be slow and the new view may be different than what was expected, but it was meant to be!.
2!. I have learned to separate people I know in this fashion:
(Notice the numbers dwindle as I go down the list)
1!. People I am acquainted with - many
2!.People I associate with -several
3!.People who are forever precious to me - few
4!.Person I would die for - My child!.
This seems to work for me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In recent years the topic of stress has become one of increasing public awareness and concern!. Although often considered in a negative light as something to be avoided, stress is actually beneficial to us!. That is, a certain amount of stress motivates us to act!. Excessive stress, however, is debilitating and results in distress!.
Research indicates that distress is a key casual factor in a variety of diseases and conditions including heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease, sleep disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, accident proneness and a series of complaints!.
It should be noted that distress is also subjective and unique to each person!. In other words, an experience (potential distressor) that may produce a distress response in one person may be stressful but not excessively so to another!. This is because people respond to events based on their perceptions of events!. Values, beliefs, attitudes, and expectations, as well as genetics, determine their ability to adapt!. Consequently, effective stress management requires that individuals be able to distinguish between those stressors that produce distress and those that do not!. Moreover, individuals must experiment to discover those practices and procedures which can most effectively reduce and/or prevent distress for themselves!.
Potential Distressors
Among the factors often identified as contributors to distress are the following:
Change
Clinical researchers have shown that changes (both positive and negative) requiring adaptation in a person's routines can produce distress!. When a substantial number of changes (marriage, injury, outstanding personal achievement, death in the family, vacation, end of school, change in eating habits, troubles with one's boss, etc!.) are accumulated in a short time span the results can be the development of symptoms!.
Attitudes
Negative, critical, fearful, and/or pessimistic attitudes about oneself others and the world frequently result in behaviors and feelings which can become manifest in symptoms!.
Nutrition
It is evident that we must be properly fueled in order to function at our best!. Hence, a diet which provides for one's basic nutritional needs is essential to well-being!. In the chronic absence of a balanced, nutritionally sound diet, the body becomes distressed and is encouraged to respond by developing symptoms!.
Physical Fitness
Recent research has shown that many of the stress-related diseases are related to a sedentary and affluent life-style which contributes to poor physical fitness!. The body's systems need regular, vigorous exercise in order to keep them vital and fit!. Without such exercise, we diminish lung capacity, decrease blood flow, decrease muscle mass, resiliency and elasticity, and increase body fat!. All such developments can lead to symptoms!.
Relationships
Just as certain foods are nourishing to your body, while certain others are toxic, so it is with human relationships!. We all realistically expect and accept that relationships are characterized by occasional conflict and disagreement!. As a result, we experience minimal distress from such events!. However, when the frequency of conflict and disagreement increases so that it is the norm rather than the exception, then symptoms reflecting that distress can emerge!.
High quality relationships characterized by good communication, mutual caring, and respect enhance living!. Indeed, they are necessary if one is to reach one's fullest human potential!. Toxic relationships need to be avoided or changed so that they become meaningful and positive!.
Meaningless Activity
Much has been stated in recent years about the boredom and meaninglessness experienced by large numbers of our labor force!. Such worker feelings are often cited as being casually related to alcoholism, drug abuse, absenteeism, and accident proneness - all being practices which compound distress!. The worker, for example, who drinks to avoid feelings of boredom and becomes alcoholic now has the distress of alcoholism to contend with in addition to the distress of boredom!.
Other Factors
Additional factors having the potential to cause distress are: noise, toxic chemicals in the air, congested travel and living conditions, anxiety over national and international policies, inhumane and impersonal situations, excessive competition, career pressures, and economic uncertainties!. In many instances, we can learn to exercise control over our responses to these and other potential distressors!. Techniques for learning such control and management follow!.
Stress Management Methods
Goal Setting and Conscious Planning
A clearly stated, positive goal with a specific sequence of steps identified to reach the goal is an important method for coping with stress!. With realizable goals and concrete plans for their achievement, one can focus energy, see progress as it is occurring, and enjoy a sense of accomplishment as one moves toward the goal!. Since change has the potential for producing distress, planning for change can keep the stress within manageable limits!.
The Relaxation Response
A major component of distress is muscle tension!. Consequently, learning to deeply relax one's muscles can be an important stress reduction and management technique!. This can be accomplished by systematically tensing specific muscle groups, and then contrasting the tension with relaxation!. Regular practice of this procedure will produce deepening levels of relaxation in the muscles!. Deep, slow and rhythmic breathing will also add to the "relaxation response!."
A Typical Relaxation Training Model
This exercise will help you practice deep muscle relaxation - this is not a cure-all, but it can be very useful in reducing tension!. It is important that you practice these exercises daily!. If you are having sleep difficulties, try this before going to bed at night!. Create an environment that is void of as many distracting stimuli as possible, i!.e!., lower lights and noise levels, loosen fight clothing, close your eyes!.
Each of the following muscle groups should be tensed and then relaxed twice before moving to the next group!. The tension phase of the cycle should last about 7-10 seconds!. Make mental contact with the muscle - try to visualize it in your mind's eye!. Tense the muscle group gradually tighter and tighter, concentrating on where the tension is and what the tension feels like!. After five seconds or so, relax the muscle group - et it go completely limp!. The relaxation phase should last about 20 seconds!. Go gently with areas of your body that are sore or stiff!. The purpose of the exercise is increased awareness - not strength!. Tension to perhaps 3/4 of the muscle's potential is adequateWww@Answer-Health@Com
