Maybe try putting a wet, cool washcloth over your closed eyes for a little while or take a cool shower!. That will also help you stop crying!. For stress, I would suggest yoga!. You may also want to consider talking to your parents about those things you are not supposed to know about!. It's not good to keep things to yourself like that!. They start to eat away at you and cause major stress on your body and your mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Showers work for me!. Try turning off all lights in the room and just laying on the floor face up I'm not sure why but it helps!.
Take a walk in the early morning tomorrow and get your day started off right!. Walking and physical activity help a lot!. You might want to try getting a Hobie like a sport or painting, or even an instrument!.
The BEST way is to try and find God and go to a good church!. I was where you were and just knowing that you're accepted is amazing!. You should find some really good mentors to help you at a church!.
Hope it helped

first of all, dont resort to weed!.i think that goes without saying! that's not a solution!. that's an problem in the making!
what do you like to do/ what sort of things make you happy!? watchin movies!? physical exercise(running, jogging), going on rollacoasters!?
think of the last time you laughed really hard and remember what you did to make you feel that way!.
you can buy a yoga cd and try breathing techniques or go out and have a good time!. it all depends on you really!. think of the things that you enjoy doing and do them more often and devote time to them!. that will help you get your mind from worrying about whatever is bothering you!.
As for the puffy eyes:
Wash face with ice cold water
Drink plenty of water to clean out your system
Place two slices of cool cucumber on the eyes for several minutes
Moisten two tea bags in cold water, chill them in the refrigerator and place them over closed eyelids for several minutes
hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A selection of treatments follows, because circumstances, and individual preferences vary!. See stress treatments, at ezy build, below in section 42!. A certain level of stress is unavoidable, in modern society, so it is a good idea to develop effective coping methods!. For others, or yourself: A massage (at least neck and shoulders) with jasmine, lavender, juniper, and/or bergamot, or German chamomile essential oils added to the massage oil, and to a warm bath, preferably beforehand, to help make any tension knots and muscles more pliant (they may only want, say, a juniper and/or bergamot and/or sandalwood mix: check first)!. I am aware of advice that strong heat, applied to essential oils can damage them, and so I would not use a diffuser!. See if they will do long, stretching yoga exercises, or t'ai chi with you (see section 2, at ezy build, below)!.
Practise daily, one of the relaxation techniques on pages 2, 11, 2c, or 2i; whichever works best for you, but the mindfulness breathing for 15 - 20 mns is ideal, although the progressive muscle relaxation can be learned quickly, and takes only several minutes, if pressed for time!. Employ the EFT version for use in public, for which you can reasonably claim that you have a headache, as you massage/tap your temples, but it may be advisable to restrict yourself to subvocalising (saying it to yourself, in your mind, not aloud)!. Section 53, and pages 2, 2!.q and 2!.o refer!. "Even though I sometimes suffer from stress, I deeply and completely accept myself"!.
(The following is a variant of EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, insomnia, and anxiety: it is easily learned, quick to use, yet can be very effective!. It is easy to be dismissive of such a seemingly unusual technique, but give it a good tryout, for at least a few weeks, to see if it is effective in your case!.)!.
Prior to using either of the methods in the above paragraph, first sit comfortably, and take a deep breath!. Then, without moving your head, move your eyes from the left, to the right, and back again, taking around a second to do so (say: "a thousand and one": this takes approximately a second)!. Repeat this procedure (without the words, although you can count, subvocally, if you like) 20 times!. Then close your eyes and relax!. Become aware of any tension or discomfort you feel!.
Then open your eyes, and take another deep breath, and repeat step one, closing your eyes, and relaxing afterwards, in the same manner!. Then, repeat the procedure one last time!. Some people may find that this is all they need do!. With experience, you may find that you can practise this in public, with your eyes closed, which greatly widens the window of opportunity for its use, and avoids attracting unwanted attention!.
I have found that the 2 - 3 minutes spent using the EMDR markedly reduces distractions to the relaxation process, and is repaid many times over!. With experience, you may find that you can practise this in public, with your eyes closed, which greatly widens the window of opportunity for its use, and avoids attracting unwanted attention!.
You can also multitask, using the gazing technique, as you walk/jog or exercise, by focusing on a distant object, or just focus awareness on how each step feels, noting any thoughts which flash across your mind, without pursuing any particular train of thought, just gently redirect your focus to the task at hand!.
For some people, it helps to visualise of a quiet, relaxing scene, (Imagine, as vividly as you can, that you are on a tropical beach, reclining comfortably; you luxuriate, as the the sun warms you, and a gentle breeze caresses your skin lightly, inhaling the tangy, sea scented, salt laden spray from the sparkling, translucent, aqua waves, crashing on the white, coral beach sand, and feeling the hot sand slip through your fingers in one hand, sipping your favorite drink with the other; all the while, the seagulls call, swoop and cavort playfully overhead in a cloudless, azure sky: you feel just like one of them, free to soar and cartwheel, or just glide in the moist, heavy air, and that this moment will last forever !.!.!. )!.
Some people may find it helps when they listen to: http://www!.amazon!.com/Sounds-Of-The-Ocea!.!.!. Other suggestions: http://www!.secretsofmeditation!.com/demo!.!.!.!.
and the audio, as well as the printed version, at: http://www!.lessons4living!.com/relaxation!.!.!. and http://www!.amazon!.com/Ambient-Rain-Sound!.!.!. or the mountain river sounds!. Take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily, replacing 2 of them with cod liver oil supplements, or a teaspoonful of the oil (I spread mine on toast, and mask its strong taste with fishpaste, and pepper), in the winter months only!. Those people who receive adequate exposure to sunlight, daily, won't need the vitamin D from cod liver oil, but many people, particularly those in latitudes far from the equator, find this difficult, to achieve!. Eat healthily, in accordance with your "nutritional type" as determined at http://www!.mercola!.com/ SEARCHBAR!.
Ginseng (Panax Ginseng (Chinese/Korean/Japanese), panax quinquefolius (American) Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian))!. It is also known as man root, life root and heal all!. Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium pubescens) Lady's slipper is one of the most widely applicable nerviness available!. It can be used in all stress reactions, emotional tension and anxiety states!. Try having a cup of "Tension Tamer", herbal tea, by Celestial Seasonings, (from supermarket tea, or health food aisles) or make some at home, and cool, then bottle, and drink as needed (I find it so strong tasting, that I need to drink it quickly, followed by something like fruit juice, to take away the taste, but others may find it more tolerable)!. C(h)amomile tea is a more palatable option!. As with all herbal/green teas, use lemon/lime, and/or a little sweetener (NOT ARTIFICIAL!!!) but no cream, or milk!.
Xylitol, or Stevia is preferable, (health food stores) or fruit sugar (fructose, such as "Fruisana", from supermarket sugar aisles) or even a little honey, because these will reduce "sugar spikes", which later deplete you of energy!. Minimise/eliminate consumption of highly processed foods, particularly grain products, such as white bread, donuts, cake, cookies/biscuits, or anything with sugar!. Opt for more wholefoods, non-starchy vegetables, and fruit!.
