Re: de-stressing
Everyone goes through stress, there is nothing abnormal about it. People have to realize that it is something that needs to be dealt with and talked about. Some of them ignore it and make the biggest mistake of their lives. It can result in a clinical disorder something like ADD - when you are doing something and thinking about other. So, stress is something that happens with everyone and usually it is an issue or a relationship that needs to be talked about.
There are emotions involved and the best way to do it is to talk with someone that you know and that person cares about you. When someone talks about stressful issue you are bound to cry and if you are with someone like your mom, husband, brother or sister it really helps. Some people release their venom to strangers directly or indirectly which is wrong, in the end you feel miserable.
People can suggest excercise, job or changing places but it won't work because it has nothing to do with body and everything with mind and emotions. You can have a six-pack and live in a diamond studded house and still be full of stress.
The best thing is to talk with someone that cares about you and is eager to listen to you....let it all out and be strong.
