How do you cope with stress? What helps reduce it?!


Question: My problem list is growing longer every day including getting laid off job, unable to find a new one, bills and debts mounting, trying to have baby, ivf unsuccessful etc.

At this rate I probably will have a heart attach and I'm only 30.

Please help me with whatever suggestions or small things I can do to cope with stress.

Please only constructive stuff, can't deal with more negatives just now.

I can only offer the usual but which has worked for me - that is fresh air, gentle exercise unless you're a so called "jogger" like me in which case its anything but gentle. Depends where your head is at too, many of the old adages are true - a problem shared and all that. It's so hard to keep a focus on what you do well when everything is mounting up and you're facing it on your own (even when there are others around you)
Prioritise your time so you have a chunk of 'you' time each day, doesn't matter what for. As long as it's not too diversionary (like me answering questions instead of revising for an interview) Trying to maintain a clear structure for at least part of the time, not necessarily all the time can give you some important clarity. Hope that helps a bit and good luck

I took up Yoga and it has helped me greatly.

Lord, give me grace to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can

iam also going thru a lot of stress now.im also trying for a baby,not yet gone with icsi.
there is a lot of probs with in-laws.
there is a lot of financial prob around.
heaps of loans to be repaid

lots and lots of things going on in my life now...

but one thing that has helped me till now is whne ever iam stresses out i jus sit down keep saying to myslef.this is only temporary this will also pass by,i can go thru this....

anything u take up,say yoga or some exercise or anything,u name it can help only when u r confident....

be 100%confident that u can cope up with anything.then things will seem to sort out by itself...
my husband keeps saying...

any prob is like a small stone,keep it near ur eyes, u cant see anything other than the stone
put it down,near ur feet,u can see how much small it is...

dont worry abt anything
i know it is difficult....but mark my words things will get sorted out...dont worry....good luck with ur ivf...

stress can take poeple in so many differed ways start thinking positively i know that's hard when everything that's going on around you seems to be so negative i suffered depression for four years i thought i would never be that bubble person i used to be but all i can say is try reversing the negative into positive take each day as it comes and when trying for a baby try not to think about it it took me four years cuz i got myself that worked up my body just would not relax take things a step at a time and dont try to deal with everythink at once take care..

I hear ya'!!! Im suprised my heart hasnt exploded yet either and I'm 29! I just go for a walk, lift weights or drink a few beers. They all seem to help me.

YOGA, you can buy an inexpensive video and do it at home. deep breathing. walking. talk therapy with a professional or close friend, sex for fun not for just making a baby. take time off from trying to concieve, so many women i know have done this and actually concieved on their own when least expected. antidepressants or antianxiety agents could be needed, you are going thru alot....... best of luck.....
