Question: Tips for dealing with extreme stress!?
In less than 2 years, I got married, moved in with my husband, had and beat Ovarian Cancer, had a baby who died 2 hours after he was born and now my mother who I do not have a great relationship with because she is an alcoholic and pill addict is having a surgery that she might not make it through!. I handle stress and stressful situations well, but now I've hit my limit!. I have ulcers, and all sorts of weird health problems from stress right now!. Any tips on getting better and handling things!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

you've had a lot happen in your life in a short time!. when you say 'tips on handling things' it struck me that maybe you're arguing with reality - like you have a say on how it unfolds!. The only thing we can do with reality is accept it - we can fight it and fight it and in the end it just is the way it is!. I've never lost a baby so I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like, but mentally arguing with the fact that your baby has gone doesn't bring him back - it only keeps you in pain and reliving the pain!. Likewise with your mum, she is ill and there is nothing you personally can do about that, you don't have to like it but you can accept it!. I think your body is telling you you can't handle anymore and that maybe you could stop arguing with what is and accept it - that's not to say condone it - just accept it!. It doesn't ask your permission anyway and fighting it only brings ulcers and weird health problems!. I hope you accept this with the love that it is offered - look after you xWww@Answer-Health@Com
one thing i have realized is that life throws you all different experiences!. Experiences sometimes let you down and affect your thoughts, and sometimes we over think and replay those episodes in our life 5 , 10, 50 times! over and over in our head!. Instead of dealing with it once we have to deal with it everytime we internally relive it and that can cause stress on our body and create an environment within us where deseise can flourish!.!. sit silent and get intouch with your self and find that rock in you that got you through all those tough things!. I can do it you can do it, we all can and sometimes you just need to get it out and get this reassurance!.!.!.good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

find an outlet to deal with the feelings!. that's a lot to have on your plate, and while its not all negative, it is all major!. SOme of the things that I've found help me are running, dancing, and journaling (mental puriging as I like to call it- just write whatever comes to mind, as it comes, and let it go!.) The child in me likes to color and then rip up the pages, or blow bubbles, and think of each one as a stress floating away!. One that I did in a workshop was to blow up balloons, and into each one scream, whether its just a scream or sreaming what is bothering you!. you can put a rubberband around the knot and use it as a punching bag, to beat the hell out of your stress, or you can take a pin and pop the balloon, and with it, the stressor!. Hope some of that helps!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
