Two words.  LOT LIZARDS.  That should relieve some stress.  Or you could try those breathing exercises.  Take 3 deep breaths and hold for 3 seconds and keep doing it until you feel better.

Stress is tension or pressures that are a natural part of living our lives.  Changes and events in our lives (getting married, illness, changing jobs) are a major source of stress.  Pressures and tension from both good and bad changes can trigger our Stress Alarm System making us feel that we want to either fight the stress or run away from it.  \n\nPreventing Stress:\nEating Right Helps:  Foods high in preotein, Vitamin C, B vitamins and Vitamin A protect us from the effects of stress.  These are found in whole grain products, fruits and veggies, expecially citrus fruits, dark green veggies, meat and dairy products.  Caffeine, refined sugars, starches and junk food create false energy and stress the body even more.\nManage Time Better:  Take five minutes at the beginning of each day and make a "things to do" list.  Converty this list into a priority list of primary tasks, secondary tasks and miscellaneous tasks.  Do Primary tasks first and continue until the list is completed.  Don't over schedule - leave time for unexpected events.  Reward yourself for a job well done.\nExercise your tension away:  You feel healthier and less stressed when you develop an exercise plan that meets your life style, needs and ability.  Yoga and stretching exercises are good for developing flexibility and relaxation.  \nIn a nut shell:  everyone will get stressed.. but how to manage your stress and keep it from occuring as often just takes a few little changes throughout your day to make it much easier to get through the bad parts!

Exercise is a great way to reduce stress, especially if you have a stressful job. If you feel you need nutritional supplements, try taking vitamins formulated for stress. Otherwise, eat healthy balanced meals, lay off the late night snacks.

Exercise is a great stress reliever.  Instead of reaching for food, try going to a walk or run to clear your head.\n\nAlso, try having healthy food around to snack on instead of junk food.  You can crunch on tons of celery for very little calories.

I have a lot of stress myself, so I hope I can help.\n\nFirst, talk to your parents about being so stressed, and ask them to make you an appointment with your doctor. He may be able to prescribe you some medication to help. \n\nAlso, try getting a book on stress reduction and relaxation techniques from the library. It will be able to help you put things in perspective, understand why you get so stressed, and how to calm down when you feel pressure. \n\nI've used both of the things above - I'm on Xanax for stress, and it's very helpful. The books have also been great.

Stress is bad because it not only effects your emotional health, but your physical health as well. unchecked stress can lead to depression. It can also lead to high blood pressure, strokes, heart problems,ect. While it is impossible to completly eliminate stress altogether, there are ways to alleviate it. Prayer and meditation are great ways to manage stress. It's also helpful to talk things out with a close friend. Take walks in nature, exercize, do a hobby you enjoy, take a long hot bubble bath and listen to soothing music. Take deep breaths. There are lots of things you can do, but the most important thing to remember is this.... God grant me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.   Godspeed and prayers

If you are currently looking for a job, you know what it is like to feel stress. Balancing family, finances, schedules, and other issues make the hunt for a new position arduous. Part of being able to control the stress is knowing what to do. Part of handling the stress is being able to know what NOT to do, too. \n\n(That's the start of an article posted here:)

You can basically talk yourself out of it.\n\nSeventy-five percent of all our problems - both emotional and physical problems - come from the same source. If you could identify that source, you could probably eliminate it. \n\nUnfortunately, few people are able to identify the core of their problems. And those who do typically don't know the steps to take to alleviate their challenges. \n\nSo what is the course of most of our problems? It is stress. That's right; stress is the source of 75 percent of all our problems and a major epidemic in people's lives. Finding ways to control stress is vital, because if you don't control stress, it will control you. \n\nIf you want to overcome stress and worry, try the following:\n1. Say No\n2. Listen to you Body\n3. Communicate with your heart\n4. Clear out past clutter\n\nTo stop stress, I do the following:\n1. Walk away from it! :)\n2. Clean the house.\n3. Go fishing.\n4. Concentrate on something meaningless.\n5. Play sports!\n6. Write on blogs.\n7. Read this book... Don't Sweat the Small Stuff!\n\nRecommended reading: http://stress.50webs.com

I don't know about coping if it's beyond human indurance but I used relaxation tapes during my lunch breaks for three years (I would not quit my job) while trying to change the cause of the pressure through the personnel office. \nAfter work, I went to Yoga classes which also helped me to reduce the stress.\nAnd, of course, I relieved myself of the pressure by talking to friends and loved ones who offered their support.\nThat which doesn't kill you makes you strong. However, if you can change jobs, do it. Life is too short to be in this kind of pain.

Find someone you can talk to--a teacher, friend, extended family member, school counselor, or other adult you can trust. If you're really that stressed, that adult can maybe make your mom understand how you feel, and can direct you on what to do.\n\nIf you feel like you're overloaded with school and other activities maybe it's time to take a little break from your (outside of school) activities!\nMaybe working out/exercising would help relieve some stress, or find a different hobby that you enjoy. Take some time for YOU!\n\nGood luck!

u can't always get rid of stress, it is part of life, and will always be there in one way or another.  stress is not the problem, its how u deal with it.  some people use exercise, meditation, talking to a close friend and u can always go to the Internet, to find out different ways to deal with your stress.   i believe you are 16 years old, that in itself is a stress full part of your life.  raising your self esteem at that age is difficult also, but if you go on the Internet there are ways to help you raise your self esteem.   pamper yourself, get hair and skin conditioners for yourself eat properly and get a good nights sleep  try to stay away from over the counter medications, you are too young to be dependent on some of these "cures"   believe in yourself, you are a beautifull person, there is no one in the world like you, as you get older you will be able to handle the stress better.  if all else fails, and u feel so miserable, talk to school councellor, or family doctor.  keep your spirits up life will get better for you   good luck

Learn to manage your stress and your nerves will take care of themselves...\nstress relief pointers\nthink really seriously about and talk with others, to identify the causes of the stress and take steps to remove, reduce them or remove yourself (the stressed person) from the situation that causes the stress. \nUnderstand the type(s) of stressors affecting you (or the stressed person), and the contributors to the stress susceptibility - knowing what you're dealing with is essential to developing the stress management approach. \nimprove diet - group B vitamins and magnesium are important, but potentially so are all the other vitamins and minerals: a balanced healthy diet is essential. Assess the current diet and identify where improvements should be made and commit to those improvements. \nreduce toxin intake - obviously tobacco, alcohol especially - they might seem to provide temporary relief but they are working against the balance of the body and contributing to stress susceptibility, and therefore increasing stress itself. \ntake more exercise - generally, and at times when feeling very stressed - exercise burns up adrenaline and produces helpful chemicals and positive feelings. \nstressed people must try to be detached, step back, look from the outside at the issues that cause the stress. \ndon't try to control things that are uncontrollable - instead adjust response, adapt. \nshare worries - talk to someone else - off-load, loneliness is a big ally of stress, so sharing the burden is essential. \nincrease self-awareness of personal moods and feelings - anticipate and take steps to avoid stress build-up before it becomes more serious. \nexplore and use relaxation methods - they do work if given a chance - yoga, meditation, self-hypnosis, massage, a breath of fresh air, anything that works and can be done in the particular situation.
